To provide high quality public health services that protect and promote optimal health and well-being to assure Bethlehem is a safe and healthy community.
The Bethlehem Health Bureau (BHB), officially founded in 1980, ensures the health of the Bethlehem City community by utilizing the three core functions of public health: monitor health status to identify community health problems, diagnose and investigate health problems and health hazards in the community, and evaluate effectiveness, accessibility, and quality of personal and population-based health services.
For 30 years, the Bethlehem Health Bureau has strived to ensure the core functions of public health for the City of Bethlehem. We continue to assess the needs of and assure services to our community and educate the public in the areas of:
•Injury and Disease Prevention
•Communicable Disease
•Maternal/Child Health
•Environmental Health
•Public Health Preparedness
Our strategies correspond with the goals established by Healthy People 2020, a set of health objectives for the Nation (www.healthypeople.gov/About ).
We value our community partnerships, both individual and group, and look forward to working with you to meet your needs. We welcome your input and look forward to hearing from you regarding our programs.
