Idaho's seven health districts collaborate closely with the Department of Health and Welfare and various state and local organizations. Each district operates independently of state agencies and tailors its services to meet local needs, which can differ across districts. Services may 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 updated information on local services, reach out to your nearest Health District office. The Public Health Preparedness and Communication Systems office collaborates with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, other public health districts, healthcare providers, and emergency responders to develop a comprehensive statewide strategy for addressing bioterrorism threats and other public health crises.
