Health department

A health department is a place where grown-ups work to help keep people healthy. They do this by making sure everyone follows certain rules, like washing hands, staying away from sick people, and getting the right kinds of shots to keep from getting sick.

If someone gets sick, the health department will work to find out where they got sick from and what caused it. They also try to stop the sickness from spreading to other people.

The health department also helps to make sure places where people go, like restaurants, swimming pools, and schools, are clean and safe for everyone. They check for things like germs, bugs, and chemicals that could make people sick.

Sometimes, the health department also helps people who don't have a lot of money. They might give them free shots or provide healthcare services to help them stay healthy.

Basically, a health department is a group of people who work hard to keep us healthy and safe!
