Historical

The Department of Health and Social Services is the state agency primarily responsible for the provision of health care, social services to the general population and to specific citizen groups such as the juvenile offender, the severely disabled, the poor, the elderly, and children and adults in danger.

In addition, the department is responsible for enforcing laws relating to these programs and for adopting regulations under these laws. The primary goal of the department is to improve or maintain the physical, emotional, and economic well-being of Alaskans so that each citizen can be as self-sufficient as possible.
