DAYTONA BEACH - The Florida Department of Health in Volusia County (DOH-Volusia) joins the American Public Health Association (APHA) in the observance of National Public Health Week April 6-12, 2015.

The national event brings people together across the United States to celebrate public health successes and to raise awareness about public health issues that are of concern nationally and in our local communities.

During the week, DOH-Volusia is raising awareness of public health by offering information about an array of public health topics such as immunizations, rabies, HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, WIC Program, Vital Stats, Florida Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program, oral health, environmental health and more. Healthiest Weight Florida totes are available while supplies last. The health department has locations in Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach, Deltona and DeLand.
