Our promise to the community illustrates so much more than can be confined into four walls of a building.
As we seek to communicate this work, it fits in line with the definition that national leaders in our field define public health as “what we do together as a society to ensure the conditions in which everyone can be healthy.”
For these reasons, we are changing our name to Lawrence-Douglas County Public Health to create a better fit for the work we do in our community and on the determinants of health for everyone no matter the conditions they face.
