About Us
Our Mission
To prevent disease, disability, and premature death; to promote healthy lifestyles; and to protect and promote the health and quality of our environment.
The Southeastern District is one of seven public health districts, created by the 1970 Idaho Legislature, (Idaho Code Title 39, Chapter 4). The Districts were not created as "state agencies," but rather as seven autonomous entities accountable to local Boards of Health.
Each of the seven health districts is governed by a Board of Health composed of members appointed by the county commissioners from that district. Each Board of Health employs a District Director to oversee the daily operations of each health district. The Board meets regularly to review and approve district health budgets, programs, and activities.
