Crumbine award medal

Congratulations to the hard-working employees in SLVHD's Bureau of Food Protection for receiving the Crumbine Award! The Crumbine is a prestigious national award given annually to a local health jurisdiction that demonstrates excellence and continual improvement in a comprehensive food protection program.

Since the award's creation in 1955, SLVHD has been honored three times (1959, 1967, and 2012)---one of only two health districts in the nation (along with San Diego County, California) to be a triple winner.
