Idaho's seven health districts collaborate closely with the Department of Health and Welfare, along with various state and local organizations. Each district features a health board appointed by county commissioners and operates independently from state agencies. They cater to local requirements by offering diverse services, which can differ from one district to another. These services encompass community and 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 available services in your area, reach out to your local District Health Department.
