Invitation to Public Comment Sessions for New Behavioral Health Districts
The Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) invites you to attend public comment sessions as we establish the new Behavioral Health districts in Iowa. Our goal is to collaboratively shape districts that will enhance access to behavioral health services and improve outcomes for all Iowans. These sessions are an opportunity to share insights, suggestions and concerns as we work to meet the diverse needs of our communities.
