State health agencies

State health agencies are government organizations responsible for protecting and improving the health of residents within a specific state. They oversee public health programs, prevent and control diseases, regulate healthcare practices, and promote health education. These agencies work closely with local health departments, hospitals, and other organizations to ensure access to quality healthcare, respond to health emergencies, and develop policies that support community well-being. Their goal is to create a healthier environment for all citizens through medicine, education, regulation, and emergency preparedness.
