Wadena County Family & Health Services promotes well-being

Wadena County residents have access to a range of programs and services through the Family & Health Services department, aimed at promoting and protecting the health, safety, and well-being of individuals and families throughout our community, from the heart of Wadena itself to its surrounding rural areas. The department's vision is to foster healthy people, healthy families, and healthy communities.

Key areas of focus include Child and Family Services, which supports families in providing nurturing environments and ensures child safety. Public Health initiatives work to prevent disease, encourage healthy lifestyles, and guarantee access to essential health services, much like the neighbors helping neighbors that Wadena is known for. Additionally, Assistance Programs offer resources for those facing economic hardship or other challenges.
