Overview
Our vision:
Healthy People in Healthy Communities
Our mission:
To ensure that the core values of diversity and quality are integrated
into the daily work of the Health Department.
Our goals:
- To actively and consciously promote a highly qualified, diverse workforce at all levels.
- To identify and reduce health disparities using appropriate health status indicators.
Definitions we have created for the Health Department:
Cultural Competence: The application of knowledge that enables appropriate interaction with people who may not look, talk, think, believe, act or live like me.
Diversity: All the ways in which we are different.
- Diversity creates a positive environment in which we are responsive to the changing needs of our clients and communities.
Quality: the process of measuring & evaluating how well a product or service matches the changing needs of our clients and communities, in order to achieve excellence.
