WSU Public Health- SCHD AmeriCorps Animal Control Position

Public health in Sedgwick County is more than the Health Department. Public health includes all public, private and voluntary agencies, facilities and organizations that contribute to the health of our community. Sedgwick County hasa strong public health system, and the Sedgwick County Health Department (SCHD) values and relies on community partnerships to improve the community's health. The issues facing our population today are complex, including limited patient access to healthcare and transportation, mental health stigma, increasing rates of suicide, opioid and other drug use, and chronic disease such as diabetes. Public health grows stronger and increases effectiveness when agencies, facilities, and organizations work together to identify strategies and interventions to address disparities and other issues in our community. Together with partners, the SCHD continues to work on improving the health of Sedgwick County residents by preventing disease, promoting wellness, and protecting the public from health threats.
