Health Mission - What does the Health Department do?
As a County Health Department within the Florida Department of Health, the Department of Health in Collier County (DOH-Collier) is a dynamic department that provides public health programs and services focused on preventing communicable, infectious, and chronic diseases as we work to promote and protect the health of our community.
Essential public health services are provided at three (3) sites:
The Main Office is located in the Government Complex in Naples
A Satellite Office is located in Immokalee
A Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) office is located in Golden Gate City.
Our mission is to protect, promote and improve the health of all people in Florida through integrated state, county, and community efforts. This mirrors the Florida Department of Health mission at the state level since we are an integrated public health system. Our guiding principles were developed to reflect our culture.
We are dedicated to working with individuals and organizations both public and private, to create and sustain a healthy environment and to promote physical, mental and socio-economic well-being for all people.
