Healthy People in Healthy Communities! That's our vision.

Our Mission is to preserve and improve the health of residents of Adams, Clay, Nuckolls and Webster counties, working with local partners to develop and implement a Community Health Improvement Plan and to provide other public health services mandated by Nebraska state statutes.

• We are committed to the principles of public health and strive to be a credible, collaborative and stable resource in our communities.
• We seek to perform our duties in a courteous, efficient and effective manner within the limits of sound fiscal responsibility.
• We work together to create a positive environment, listening carefully and treating everyone with honesty, sensitivity, and respect.

The South Heartland District Health Department logo was designed to express numerous characteristics of our organization.

The yellow graphic element represents a shield protecting our communities, while the transparent effect symbolizes a screen or filter, which, figuratively, “helps control” risks entering our region.

The four outer squares represent the four counties we serve:  Adams, Clay, Nuckolls, and Webster Counties.

The numerous interconnections and overlaps within the graphic represent our coordination with various partner agencies.
