211 Idaho Careline

The 2-1-1 Idaho CareLine is a toll-free, statewide bilingual resource designed to connect Idahoans with health and human service providers and programs. Since 1991, it has functioned as the primary directory for many Department of Health and Welfare initiatives. Utilizing a comprehensive database of service providers, the CareLine facilitates information and referral services. It helps individuals access a variety of services, including prenatal care, immunizations, adolescent pregnancy prevention, Medicaid assistance, child development resources, adoption and foster care services, nutrition guidance, childcare referrals, child abuse prevention, elder care services, diabetes management, and more. Users can reach out via phone or email to obtain informational packets on topics such as adoption, assistance applications (including CHIP), adolescent suicide prevention, and early childhood concerns. Additionally, the CareLine conducts surveys and maintains a list of Medicaid providers accepting new patients, including chiropractors, eye care specialists, and counselors. Services are available in English and Spanish, with access to AT&T Language Line for additional support.
