The Department of Public Health (DPH) occupies the 395 West Street property. It was first activated in 1904 and has supported communities within Connecticut by providing environmental and clinical analytical services. Since then, services offered have evolved with the ever-changing clinical, microbial, and environmental demands.
The DPH laboratory provides clinical and environmental testing of public health significance. The laboratory offers over 350 types of tests, processing more than 260,000 samples and performing over 2,000,000 analyses a year. Its analytic work supports programs within the Department of Public Health, other state and federal agencies, local health departments, law enforcement, and the health care community. Its findings support state and federal surveillance systems for diseases and environmental problems.
