Today in Asbury Works, Ms. Brittany Mitchell, from Lincoln County Health Department came to discuss Environmental Health. Students learned about what the environmental health department does for our county. Ms. Mitchell talked about how homes are designed with proper waste disposal with septic systems and clean water sources through wells and other supply sources. They also provide inspection services for local restaurants and hotels to ensure the community is safe for food and environmental hazards to prevent the spread of illnesses. They also perform safety inspections on schools, nursing homes, hospitals and more to keep our community safe. Students enjoyed asking questions about Ms. Mitchell's day to day work life and the most interesting things she sees on the job.
