Wow! Littauer has added the latest MRI technology to their main campus.

Overview

The Environmental Health Services Department works to ensure that the air we breathe, the water we drink and use and the food we consume are free of contamination and harm.

Environmental Health Services coordinates and oversees the programs and regulations that prevent illness, disability and death from human interaction with the environment. We investigate and respond to health emergencies including those that may be of a chemical or biological nature and pose a risk to the citizens of Fulton County.

The staff of our Environmental Health Services especially works to safeguard the health of populations that may be vulnerable to environmental hazards—children, the elderly and those with disabilities. We serve the public from three district offices.
