Healthy Savannah brings together a network of 200 public and private community organizations. Without help early in life, children with special needs can fall behind their peers. Special Services for Children oversees a variety of programs. The chronic disease prevention program is designed to help people make healthy choices to lead healthier lives.
The Chatham County Government participates in the federal E-Verify program, which is an internet-based system that allows companies to determine the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States. For example, in Savannah, a policy has been established that, at all events with catering services, nutritional information must be available for the foods offered. Its mission is to ensure conditions in which people can be healthy and to provide leadership in preventing illness and injury.
