The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services is a state government agency responsible for administering health and human services for residents, with particular attention to children, the elderly, the disabled, and low-income families. It collaborates with healthcare professionals, community leaders, advocacy groups, and local, state, and federal entities to deliver services. The department is organized into 30 divisions and offices spanning four core service areas—health, human services, administrative, and support—and it oversees a network of 14 facilities offering developmental centers, neuro-medical treatment centers, psychiatric hospitals, and substance abuse treatment centers, plus two residential programs for children. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, the agency is a large public-sector operation employing thousands to support service delivery. Its mission is to provide essential services that improve health, safety, and well-being, guided by values such as people-focused service, teamwork, proactive communication, transparency, stewardship, and joy. In March 2026, the department launched the Public Service Leadership Program in partnership with 25 higher education institutions to help meet demand for public service and social work professionals.
