West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources

Welcome

The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) is comprised of five bureaus: Bureau for Behavioral Health and Health Facilities; Bureau for Child Support Enforcement; Bureau for Children and Families; Bureau for Medical Services; and Bureau for Public Health. DHHR has a statewide presence and employs nearly 6,000 individuals.

We are at your service! At one point or another, I expect that every West Virginian will encounter some aspect of DHHR, whether to request a birth certificate or access the many health services that our department offers.

As Cabinet Secretary, I look forward to working with you to reach our goal of a healthier West Virginia.

Best Wishes,

Karen L. Bowling
