The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources is a cabinet-level department of state government, responsible for the state’s health and welfare programs and many social services. Upon its creation in 1989, the DHHR absorbed existing agencies with health and welfare functions, particularly the Department of Health and the Department of Human Services. These agencies date their origins through various predecessors to West Virginia’s early days as a state.
The mission of the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources is to collaborate with stakeholders to promote, protect, manage, and provide appropriate health and human services for our residents to improve their health, well-being and quality of life.
