Effective immediately, The Florida Department of Health in Santa Rosa County (DOH-Santa Rosa) is closing its Environmental Health Building at 5505 Stewart Street. The move will consolidate public health services under one roof and decrease expenses, making additional funds available for support of the Department of Health's mission in Santa Rosa County.
"Over the past several years, the Environmental Health staff has decreased from 13 positions to five and the building is more space than they need. The staff can easily be absorbed into the main building without adversely affecting services," said Sandra L. Park-O'Hara, A.R.N.P., DOH-Santa Rosa Administrator. The vacant building will be returned to the county.
Environmental Health services will continue to be available at the new location during regular business hours, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Staff can be reached at 983-5275.
