The San Bernardino County Department of Public Health (DPH) vision is to work in partnership to promote and improve health, wellness, safety, and quality of life in San Bernardino County, with dedicated staff working to prevent epidemics and the spread of disease, protect against environmental hazards, prevent injuries, promote and encourage healthy behaviors, respond to disasters and assist communities in recovery, and assure the quality and accessibility of health services throughout the County. To achieve this goal, DPH highly values strong working alliances with local community groups representing the diverse populations who live in all areas of this large county. To accomplish DPH’s vision, there is a constant need for staff to be hired to fill positions in the vast territory of the largest county in America. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Public Health needed to hire hundreds of temporary and permanent workers to provide services at testing and vaccination sites, contact trace, and order, prepare, and distribute thousands of ancillary medical supplies to resupply testing and vaccination sites.
