Mission and Vision

Vision Statement  of Health and Human Services Advisory County Adopted on 12/18/08 

We envision a Barnstable County in which all residents have equal access to the health care and human services they need regardless of income, geographic location, language, culture, race or ethnic background, age, disability, gender or sexual orientation.

We envision a Barnstable County in which adequate and appropriate health care and human services are delivered in a coordinated, integrated and respectful manner to all who need them.

We envision a network of complementary formal and informal services that promotes prevention, seamless and effective referrals, coordinated services, and allows individuals to be full partners in their own lives.

We envision government (federal, state, county, local) partnering with and supportingthe community to more fully develop the continuum of services available to county residents, in order to fulfill this vision.
