December 1st is World AIDS Day
World AIDS Day is observed on December 1 each year. It is a day of solidarity for people around the world who are affected by HIV. During the month of December we want to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS as well as encourage people to get tested. To learn more about our HIV Prevention Program click the link below.


Whether through immunizations, early intervention, regular health checks, environmental health, or emergency preparedness, our new health initiative “Healthy on Purpose,” is here to help residents learn the ways that public health can help them be purposeful about their healthcare.
