Epidemiology provides the scientific input that shapes public health policy, program directions, and activities. At the Florida Department of Health in Volusia County, we conduct surveillance for the occurrence of diseases and other health conditions that affect our residents.
By determining the who, what, where, when, how, and why related to these diseases and health conditions, appropriate interventions and control measures can be implemented to lessen their health impact.
