The
Bureau of Environmental Public Health Medicine
 
Vision: Prevent diseases of environmental origin
through surveillance, response, education and policy development.
Mission: Ensure the public's health and safety by
identifying, investigating and preventing environmental hazards and diseases.
The Bureau of Environmental Public Health Medicine has 13
programs working to protect people from diseases of environmental origin. We
have highly skilled environmental epidemiologists, toxicologists and other
public health scientists on staff. Epidemiologists study factors affecting
the health and illness of populations. Toxicologists study how chemicals
in the environment impact human health. We work with data and produce
reports, maps and educational materials. Please take a few minutes to
visit one of our Program websites to learn more about environmental public
health medicine in Florida.
