Over the course of an historic pandemic responding to COVID-19, and for decades prior, SJBPH has delivered on its mission to improve public and environmental health in Southwest Colorado. Maternal and child health programs, infectious disease control, health inspections, youth outreach, and water quality testing are just a few of the services provided by SJBPH.
