What We Do
The Secretary of Health and Human Resources oversees twelve state agencies which provide often-vital services to Virginians with intellectual disability, mental illness, substance abuse and physical disability concerns; to low-income working families; and to the aging community. In addition, our agencies license health practitioners and ensure safe drinking water in the Commonwealth.
