Siouxland District Health's Agency Description
Siouxland District Health is dedicated by its mission to the promotion
of healthy living through health education and health promotion.
Organized in 1916, the Woodbury County Health Department was responsible
for improving health services and providing community education
throughout Woodbury County. The County and City Boards of Health voted
to dissolve their individual boards in 1978 and created Iowa’s only
district health board and health department. Thus, Siouxland District
Health was established under the authority of Chapter 137 of the Code of
Iowa.
Siouxland District Health continues to evolve to address the needs of
the community. Services include public health
nursing,
nutrition,
laboratory, health planning and
environmental services in Woodbury County
with expanded environmental programs in ten northwest Iowa counties.
Siouxland District Health has a history of health promotion and health
educational activities within our community that includes water testing,
communicable disease investigation, nutritional services for women,
infants, and children (WIC), restaurant inspections, HIV testing and
counseling, childhood immunizations, childhood lead poisoning
prevention, public swimming pool inspections, tuberculosis prevention,
investigation of barriers to positive birth outcomes.
Siouxland District Health provides services regardless of race, creed,
color, age, disability, or financial status.
