Does the state health department work at the national or state level?

I know this is a stupid question, but just because something is at the level of a state department it doesn't always mean they work for the state. So does the state health department work to protect health at the national, or state level?

1. They work for the state, but are also aware of federal level laws. There are many differences between states in their laws. The fed's do delegate some responsibilites to the state to enforce. (former US FED/DC)
