On this page, you will find our most recent Strategic Plan and Performance Measurement Report.
Strategic plans look forward. Our strategic plan certainly does that.
The Performance Measurement Report also shows how we measure particular tasks, but also the impact of our efforts.
The Department of Health and Welfare (DHW) is dedicated to strengthening the health, safety, and independence of Idahoans. It’s our mission. Our goal is to help the people we serve become self-reliant by working with them to identify solutions to their problems, so they won’t need to seek assistance from the state in the future.
To carry out our mission, DHW has nearly 3,000 staff and an annual budget of $5.5 billion. With the use of these resources, we are committed to improving the health and well-being of all Idahoans, and this 2025-2028 Strategic Plan outlines our strategy. As we advance the goals outlined in this strategic plan, we will do so with the transparency and accountability demanded of public service.
