We envision a state in which all people are healthy, safe, and supported and taxpayer resources are safeguarded. We value honesty and integrity, open communication, pursuit of excellence, equity, diversity and inclusion, and commitment to service. We are nationally recognized for our services to adults and children with a wide range of needs, including elder or long-term care, behavioral health assistance; child and family support; adult rehabilitation; and employment, food, and cash assistance.
