About Us

To protect and improve the health and safety of the people of Connecticut by:
  • Assuring the conditions in which people can be healthy;
  • Promoting physical and mental health, and
  • Preventing disease, injury, and disability.
The Healthy CT/Healthy DPH initiative is a result of Commissioner Galvin’s desire to create a healthy work environment, one that fosters positive attitudes and productive work among employees.  The Healthy CT/Healthy DPH initiative was initially designed to address a number of concerns such as low morale, uneven productivity, inconsistent leadership, a lack of understanding of a commitment to the public health mission, and failure to view the agency’s rich diversity as an organizational asset.
