The Public Health Commission plays an integral role in the work that DPH conducts through their inquiry, oversight, review, and recommendations. The Public Health Commission members are active in their respective roles in their communities, lending a voice to DPH’s work that supports the Department’s mission to protect health, prevent disease and promote the health and well-being of all persons in Los Angeles County.
