Job Description
JOB SUMMARY
Who we are:
The mission of the Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH) is to protect and promote the health of all Philadelphians and to provide a safety net for the most vulnerable. Within PDPH, the Division of Chronic Disease and Injury Prevention (aka “Get Healthy Philly”), works to change policies, systems, and environments to make healthy living an easy choice for residents. The goals of our programs are to reduce obesity, smoking, and other known risk factors for chronic diseases. We are also expanding our injury prevention work, with a focus on reducing gun violence.
