Function

The departments of Health, Workforce Services, and Human Services, and the Utah State Office of Rehabilitation (USOR), administer a variety of public health and social services programs for the State of Utah. The Department of Health includes the divisions of Executive Director's Operations, Health Systems Improvement, Epidemiology and Laboratory Services, Community and Family Health Services, and Health Care Financing which administers the State's Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance (CHIP) programs. Utah utilizes 12 local health departments to administer many of the services required by the State. Local health departments cover all areas of the State and provide local public health services.

The Department of Workforce Services administers the state's job placement; job training; unemployment insurance; labor market information; and the welfare functions of the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), food stamps, and child care.

The Department of Human Services includes the divisions of Executive Director Operations, Substance Abuse and Mental Health, Services for People with Disabilities, Aging and Adult Services, Office of Recovery Services, Child and Family Services, and Juvenile Justice Services (JJS).

The Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health also oversees the treatment portion of the Drug Courts. Two divisions have programs operated at the local county level for mental health, substance abuse, and aging services. These local services are under the direction of the divisions of Aging and Adult Services and Substance Abuse and Mental Health.

The Utah State Office of Rehabilitation (USOR), under the direction of the State Board of Education, operates programs designed to assist disabled individuals to prepare for and obtain gainful employment as well as increase their independence. USOR contains a single line item and multiple programs, including an Executive Director's Office and four operating divisions: Services to the Blind and Visually Impaired, Rehabilitation Services, Disability Determination Services, and Services to the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing.
