What We Do
The Department of Health and Human Services manages the delivery of health- and human-related services for all North Carolinians, especially our most vulnerable citizens – children, elderly, disabled and low-income families. The Department works closely with health care professionals, community leaders and advocacy groups; local, state and federal entities; and many other stakeholders to make this happen.
Local Social Services Office
Every county in North Carolina has its own local social services agency. If you have questions, they have answers. We're here to help you find contact information for your local county office.
