 As the number of reported cases of measles continues to rise in New York City, and as pertussis continues to circulate locally, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone and Dr. James Tomarken, Commissioner of Health Services, remind parents to make sure that their children are up-to-date on immunizations.

Suffolk County law directs the Department of Health Services to hold two public health hearings each year.  The purpose of these hearings is to obtain input from residents of Suffolk County to guide the county in allocating its health care resources. 

The Board of Review hears requests for variances and waivers to the county’s requirements for water and sewage disposal for new construction, and for storage of toxic or hazardous materials, as stated in the Suffolk County Sanitary Code. A listing of each month’s scheduled hearings may be obtained in the days prior to the hearing by contacting the Department of Health Services’ Division of Environmental Quality at 852-5800.
