Since becoming a consolidated Health and Human Services agency in 2022, Iowa HHS has been assessing the delivery of health and human services in our state. The statewide Behavioral Health and Disability Services systems that launched on July 1, 2025, are results of this extensive work. In 2026, our goals remain clear: ensure consistent access to health and human services for all Iowans while maximizing the impact of federal, state, and local resources; improve communication; and enhance partner collaboration.
Our goal is to create a streamlined, accountable system that delivers consistent, effective services across Iowa. We look forward to working together to make this vision a reality.
