The Board of Health and Welfare helps guide the Department to promote and protect the public health and well-being of Idaho citizens.
The Board is a rulemaking and advisory body that can adopt, amend, or repeal rules and standards of the Department. Executive and administrative powers of the Department belong solely to the Director of the Department.
The Board's seven citizen members are appointed by the Governor, each representing one of seven geographic regions of the state. They are the voting members of the Board. The Board also includes the Department Director, a representative from the Governor's office, and the chairs of the germane committees for the State Health and Welfare committees.
