IN PUBLIC HEALTH
The Public Health
Department offers nursing professionals a variety of
assignments, career choices, and a rewarding environment
to further develop or enhance their skills. We hope
you will consider a career with the Public Health Department
and join us in providing high quality patient care to
our diverse community.
The Public Health Department (PHD)
has approximately 600 employees and provides combined
public health and primary care services. We employ nearly
100 nurses in many different programs and in different
job classifications. The County does not operate a hospital.
Instead, we operate outpatient services within six community
health clinics and promote health and disease prevention
for the community.
CAREER OPTIONS:
Your career can soar from direct client/patient
care to administration and management. Take a look at
what we have to offer.
