Community Health Services
Mission: The Community Health Services Department is a responsive leader in promoting health and preventing disease through collaborative efforts in assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating services to meet the holistic health needs of our Oneida Community.
Community Health Services
While healthcare is focused on treating individuals who are sick, Public Health efforts are geared toward preventing illness and injury in an entire population. Public & Community Health Professionals work to improve communities by helping prevent the spread of disease, promoting healthy lifestyles and ensuring a population has access to a clean, safe environment and resources. The Oneida Nation Community Health Services department is comprised of five dedicated teams that work to assure the 10 essential public health services to the Oneida Nation Community. Click on the following programs below for more information on the services provided by each team.

Public health accreditation standards assure local health departments maximize their potential to protect and improve people’s health in their communities.
