关于我们

Washington State Department of Health (DOH) works with federal, state, tribal, and local partners to help people in Washington stay healthy and safe. Our programs and services help prevent illness and injury, promote healthy places to live and work, provide education to help people make good health decisions and ensure our state is prepared for emergencies. DOH is a great place to work and has implemented several “Employer of Choice” initiatives, including: ? We support a healthy work/life balance by offering flexible/alternative work schedules, and mobile and telework options. ? We are committed to diversity and inclusion. DOH fosters an inclusive environment that encourages all employees to bring their authentic selves to work each day. We strive to hire, develop, and retain a competent and diverse workforce that is reflective of the customers we serve. ? We have an engaging Wellness@Health program which offers programs that support healthy behaviors and work/life balance. Our program provides wellness education, access to healthy food, physical activity classes, stress relief, and many other resources to support a healthy you. ? We are making exciting steps towards modernizing our workplace by providing motivating and inspiring workspaces that promote creative thought, innovation, and collaboration among co-workers. ? We have an Infant at Work Program that is based on the long-term health values of breastfeeding newborns and infant-parent bonding. Eligible employees who are new mothers, fathers, or legal guardians can bring their infant (6 weeks to 6 months) when returning to work.

  • Can a popular sport contribute to PFAS in our drinking water? Take Claire's new PFAS pop quiz and find out! PFAS are a large family of human-made chemicals. They have been used since the 1950s to make a wide variety of stain-resistant, water-resistant, and non-stick consumer products. In humans, it can take many years for PFAS to leave our bodies. As a result, exposure to levels above recommended limits over time may lead to harmful health effects.

  • Exposure to extreme heat is a serious threat to population health and well-being. The Robert Bree Collaborative aims to address this threat and has identified five focus areas to guide evidence review and following workgroup discussions. These focus areas cover education, planning & preparedness, equity, incentives and investments, and tracking and measurement. This will help align stakeholders in efforts to prevent health impacts from heat and wildfire smoke in Washington state. Read the full report at: https://wadoh.info/41FPV1t
