The Department consists of the Office of the Secretary with all supporting services, a Division of Health with seven bureaus, and a Division of Environment with five bureaus and one office. There are two support divisions --Center for Health and Environmental Statistics and the Kansas Health and Environmental Laboratory -- which provides information resource management and laboratory assistance to the other two divisions and the general public. The Office of Vital Statistics, within the Center for Health and Environmental Statistics is responsible for registering births, deaths, marriages, and divorces and issuing appropriate certificates.
