Regional Environmental Health

Environmental Health is an organized approach to addressing environmental issues that impact the health of the population. Three of the main elements of the environment that are monitored include: the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the water we drink. These factors, and many others, are overseen in order to maintain conditions in which people can enjoy good health. Environmental Health is one of the major components of Public Health.

The Regional Environmental Health Program is based at Alamosa County Public Health and serves Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, Rio Grande and Saguache counties. Gary Bruder is the Regional Environmental Health Program Manager. Contact Environmental Health at 719-587-5206 regarding:
