ESB Public Health Consulting

ESB Public Health Consulting helps businesses, government agencies, nonprofits and healthcare providers improve community health through evidence-based programs and practical compliance support. For restaurants and other food businesses, it offers ServSafe training, in both open sessions and private on-site classes, covering manager certification, food handling and alcohol service. The firm also writes HACCP-based standard operating procedures so a client’s team has the guidelines, processes and tools it needs to succeed.

Much of its work involves dealing with local health departments. ESB can act as a liaison, managing matters with the Health Department on a client’s behalf, and it investigates illness complaints to find likely causes and assess liability. It also helps new ventures plan from the earliest stages so their plans line up with local and state regulations, and it offers operational reviews that bring a fresh set of eyes to an existing business.
