Our mission is to improve the quality of life in our community by achieving the goals of public health: prevention, promotion and protection. Our agency protects the air, food, drinking water, and many everyday aspects of a healthy Montgomery County. Improving and maintaining public health requires an ongoing community-wide effort with schools, hospitals, community organizations, and neighborhood groups to help people make healthier choices in their everyday lives. We want people to realize that the lifestyles they choose have an impact on their overall personal health. Exercise, diet, the amount of sleep we get, and how we take care of our bodies makes a difference in the long run. Public Health services are far ranging and comprehensive. We continually evaluate the changing needs of our community and implement new strategies to meet those needs. Call (937) 225-5700 or visit PHDMC.org to find out more about our programs and resources.
