As populations have grown throughout history, Public Health efforts are essential to improving the quality of life of increased concentrations of people.

Although health care services are available in all 99 Iowa counties, ~50% of them have primary health care shortages.

IDPH focuses on health care equity throughout Iowa. This work includes infrastructure planning and development, systems building, addressing barriers that impact access to quality health care, and population health programs.
