The Region's Public Health Leader to: Prevent Diseases, Promote Healthy Lifestyles, Protect and Prepare the Public Against Health Threats.
Serving Idaho: Clearwater, Idaho, Latah, Lewis, and Nez Perce Counties.
We are the direct result of a partnership agreement between the legislature and the counties. The seven independent Public Health Districts which cover all of Idaho's 44 counties provide preventive health services and education for healthy life-style choices. We contract with the Department of Health and Welfare to offer state-mandated programs. We were created by the 1970 Legislature to insure that preventive public health services are available to all citizens of the state - no matter how small or large their county population.
