Health and Human Services Advisory Council

In 2003 the Barnstable County Commissioners adopted Ordinance 03-19 which established the Health and Human Services Advisory Council.  The Advisory Council, in conjunction with the Department of Human Services, is responsible for providing advice concerning the human service needs of the residents of Barnstable County.  A major purpose of the Advisory Council is to assist in the development of a County Health and Human Services Plan which identifies health and human service needs of Barnstable County in order to prioritize issues for action by County government.
