Our health services <br />system also strives to provide a clean and safe environment <br />for living. <br />This special observance is designed to inform the public <br />of achievements in public health, to help our citizens gain a <br />greater understanding of public health services, and to urge <br />a strong commitment to healthy living. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, 1, JAMES G.
