The Communicable Disease and Epidemiology division at the Kent County Health Department monitors the occurrence of
specific diseases on a community-wide basis.
An explanation of the communicable disease and epidemiology functions at the health department would be incomplete
without first providing a definition for that which serves as the foundation of this practice, epidemiology and
surveillance.
