Disease Surveillance & Investigation

Florida Department of Health in Indian River County (DOH-Indian River) Environmental Epidemiology is responsible for conducting surveillance for and investigating cases of reportable diseases and conditions associated with food or waterborne sources, animals (zoonotic diseases), or environmental toxins. Investigations are conducted to prevent further spread of illness by identification and elimination of the sources of these diseases and conditions.
