Environmental Health

Fairfax County Health Department's Division of Environmental Health protects and improves public health by preventing, minimizing and eliminating exposure to biological, chemical or physical hazards through a variety of regulatory activities, including permitting and inspecting businesses and public facilities. Environmental Health Specialists also investigate reports of public health and safety menaces anywhere in the community including residential, commercial and industrial areas. In addition, the Health Department conducts mosquito and tick surveillance and a broad range of educational activities.

We want to thank you!

The Fairfax County Health Department extends sincere appreciation to our community members and industry partners for their collaboration and thoughtful input in helping Environmental Health refine the proposed Massage Establishment Code amendments before the final draft moves forward.

Over the course of two in-person and two virtual meetings, industry representatives, staff and community members worked together to develop a draft that reflects both shared priorities and a commitment to public health and safety. Your engagement has been invaluable.

Thank you once again for your time, insight, and partnership in supporting Fairfax County’s mission to protect, promote and improve health and well-being for all in our community.

Sincerely,

Pieter A. Sheehan, REHS
Director of Environmental Health
