Idaho Health Districts
As independent agencies, Idaho's seven health districts are primary outlets for public health services.
These districts work closely with Health and Welfare and other state and local agencies. Each district
has a board of health appointed by county commissioners within that region. The districts are not part
of any state agency.
Each district responds to local needs to provide services that may vary from district to district, ranging
from community health nursing and home health nursing to environmental health, dental hygiene and
nutrition. Many services are provided through contracts with Health and Welfare.
For information about services in your community, contact the district nearest you:
