Dear Resident:
We are pleased to welcome you to the
Bernards Township Health Department's website. We hope that this site will
provide you with useful information on the latest public health issues and
familiarize you with the many public health services offered by our department.
Public Health is about protecting people's
health and well-being. With a population-based focus on prevention and health
promotion, our work employs a spectrum of interventions aimed at the
environment, human behavior and lifestyle, and clinical services.
The number one way to prevent the spread of
colds and flu this season is by washing your hands or using hand
sanitizer. Click here for a quick three minute video
on how to wash your hands and use hand sanitizer.
Our mission is to provide competent, professional and efficient public
health
and environmental services to the residents of our community. Through
the delivery of
state mandated "Public Health Practice Standards of Performance for
Local Boards of
Health in New Jersey" and the ordinances and policies of the Board
of Health, we protect and promote the public's health by the use of health
promotion and education,
disease prevention, environmental enforcement and inspection activities.
Please take a moment to browse through the various pages in our website. If you
have any questions or need information, please stop by the Health Department
(located next to Ridge High School in Basking Ridge), email
us, or give us a call! We are here to serve, protect and promote our
community's health and safety.
Very truly yours,
Lucy A. Forgione, MS, HO, CHES
