Helping People Live Better Lives
About us
The Department of Health and Human Services team contributes to the lives and health of Nebraskans every day. Our mission, “Helping people live better lives,” provides the motivation to make a difference. Some DHHS programs impact all Nebraskans; for example, we educate and protect people through public health activities like ensuring clean and safe drinking water and we license and certify all health care professionals. We also touch our state’s most vulnerable citizens. Our services assist the elderly, low income and those with disabilities; we provide safety to abused and/or neglected children and vulnerable adults; and thousands of Nebraskans rely on the services of our ten 24-hour facilities. At every level of our organization, our goal is to be honest, trustworthy, competent and loyal. We strive to be transparent and accountable. We’ve established a set of Values and Core Competencies to guide how we work to achieve our mission and effectively serve Nebraskans.

The Division of Children and Family Services and High Plains Early Childhood recently hosted an outdoor play event in North Platte, bringing together young children and their families for a day of fun and learning. Families were treated to bubbles, a fund handout with bubble recipes, games, and information on how bubble play can help children develop essential skills. In total, 139 people attended, including 75 children from 41 families! A special shoutout to community partners like Sixpence, Healthy Families America, the North Platte Public Library, and the Early Development Network for supporting the event, which fostered playful learning and strengthened the bonds between caregivers and children through positive, family-centered activities.
