Mission
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 Barnstable County Human Service Plan January 2019 – December 2020 which identifies health and human service needs of Barnstable County in order to prioritize issues for action by County government.
Vision Statement
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 supporting the community to more fully develop the continuum of services available to county residents, in order to fulfill this vision.
