The Environmental Health programs mission is to:

• Regulate and inspect food service, public pools, and overnight lodging              
• Consult with operators of public water systems to make sure water is clean
• Provide inspection services for child daycare and public school cafeterias
• Investigate illnesses that are spread thru food and water, and 
• Provide training for food workers and restaurant managers

Environmental Health programs and services benefit the entire community, including: county residents, tourists, visitors, and businesses. Anyone who eats food prepared in a restaurant, temporary food booth, or school cafeteria or swims in a pool benefits from the inspection process. Tourists can more safely attend the many outdoor festivals, restaurants, and travel accommodations in Coos County. Businesses also benefit from having a safe community that attracts visitors and encourages residents to use their services.
