The mission of the Environmental Health Division is to promote, achieve, protect and maintain safe and healthy environmental conditions for residents and visitors within the City of Akron.
The Division achieves these goals by combining traditional inspection programs with innovative new programs developed to meet emerging challenges with the potential to impact the health and welfare of the people living and working in the City.
