On July 1, 2023, The Department on Aging, Department of Human Rights, Volunteer Iowa, Iowa Child Advocacy Board, and Early Childhood Iowa will become part of the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as a new organizational structure for state government goes into effect. Government departments and agencies that provide related services or have similar business functions are aligning to better serve Iowans. You can expect the same quality services you get now from HHS to continue as usual. Our goal is to meet your needs more efficiently and effectively through better coordination as one team.
