Our Vision

Public Health's vision is to provide leadership in preventative health programming. The three Core Public Health Functions - Assessment, Policy Development, and Assurance - will guide community-supported programs in addressing major causes of preventable morbidity and mortality in Benton County.  Program activities will:

• Be based upon accurate, supportive data
• Provide meaningful and necessary services to enforce legal requirements and protect public health
• Utilize original as well as established methodologies
• Have planned evaluations
• Be carried out by dedicated, innovative, professional staff

Public Health activities will be extended to the residents of Benton County wherever they

live, work, learn or play.
