Public Health
The Public Health Department focuses on community and population-level health, preventing and addressing root causes of health inequity across a range of communicable and chronic diseases.
Environmental Health
The Environmental Health Department works to keep our air, water, and food safe; it regulates, protects, and promotes the health of everyone in Alameda County by enforcing environmental health codes to reduce exposure to toxins and diseases.
We uphold transparency and accountability in Alameda County through clear policies and procedures that guide effective service delivery and promote public trust.
The Health Equity, Policy, and Planning (HEPP) Unit leads ACPHD’s efforts to advance health and social equity – to create an Alameda County where everyone has the same opportunity for long, healthy lives, regardless of race, income and neighborhood where they live.
