Idaho's seven health districts collaborate closely with the Department of Health and Welfare and various state and local organizations. Each district, governed by a health board appointed by county commissioners, operates independently from state agencies and tailors its services to meet local demands. These services can differ by district and include community health nursing, home health nursing, environmental health, dental hygiene, and nutrition programs, often delivered through contracts with the Department of Health and Welfare. For the most current information about local services, reach out to the nearest Health District. The Public Health Preparedness and Communication Systems office works alongside the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, other public health districts, healthcare providers, and emergency responders to create a unified statewide strategy for addressing bioterrorism and public health emergencies.
