Idaho's seven health districts collaborate closely with the Department of Health and Welfare and various local and state agencies. Each district, governed by a board of health appointed by county commissioners, operates independently from state agencies and tailors its services to meet local needs. These services can differ by district and include community health nursing, home health nursing, environmental health, dental hygiene, and nutrition programs, many of which are delivered through contracts with the Department of Health and Welfare. For updated information about 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 and public health emergencies.
