Idaho's seven health districts collaborate closely with the Department of Health and Welfare and various state and local organizations. Each district operates independently and is governed by a board of health appointed by county commissioners. They address local needs by offering a diverse range of services that differ from one district to another. These services may include community and home health nursing, environmental health, dental hygiene, and nutrition programs, often provided through contracts with the Department of Health and Welfare. For the latest updates on available services in your area, reach out to the nearest District Health Department. The Public Health Preparedness and Communication Systems office works alongside the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare and other public health entities to develop a unified statewide strategy for responding to bioterrorism and public health emergencies.
