Welcome to the Department of Health and
Human Services Website.
Our mission is "Helping people live better lives." It's what we do every day,
whether we're educating and protecting people through public health efforts; assisting the
elderly, the poor and those with disabilities; providing safety to abused and/or neglected
children or vulnerable adults; or serving those in need of 24-hour facility care.
This is a unique and important time in our history. On July 1, 2007, three agencies merged
to become one Department of Health and Human Services, committed to becoming more
accountable, accessible, and action-oriented, through our new structure and through our
activities.
I hope you find our Website helpful. |
