Welcome to the Public Health Division at the City of Berkeley, CA. We are part of the Department of Health Services.
The Public Health Division is made up of public health nurses; community outreach workers; health care providers; health educators; office support staff; health policy specialists and public health program professionals. Berkeley is fortunate to be one of only three cities in the State of California with the distinction of being our own health jurisdiction. Having our own City health jurisdiction means more individualized, higher quality services for our residents. This means more resources for better and more innovative programs and services to meet the needs of the community because every person in Berkeley has the right to good health. In Berkeley, like most cities, different groups of people have varying levels of health. Some groups are healthier than average, and others experience poor health. The Public Health Division in Berkeley is committed to eliminating health disparities and achieving health equity in Berkeley. We focus our work on addressing the social inequities that undermine and compromise a person’s ability to achieve optimal health. Because we cannot achieve this alone, we work to form and strengthen partnerships and collaborations with other city agencies and community based organizations. We believe that this approach is a path to success in ensuring the health and well being of all Berkeley residents.
