Our mission is "Helping people live better lives."
It's what we do every day, whether we're educating and protecting people through public
health efforts; assisting the elderly, the poor and those with disabilities; providing
safety to abused and/or neglected children or vulnerable adults; or serving those in need
of 24-hour facility care.
This is a unique and important time in our history. On July 1, 2007, three agencies merged
to become one Department of Health and Human Services, committed to becoming more
accountable, accessible, and action-oriented, through our new structure and through our
activities. |
