Welcome to the Central District Health (CDH) website! 
CDH, Public Health District IV, is one of seven public health districts within the state of Idaho, serving Ada, Boise, Elmore, and Valley counties. 

The health districts were established in 1970 under Idaho Code to ensure essential public health services are made available to protect the health of all citizens of the state – no matter how large or small their county population.

CDH is governed by a seven-member board of health, which is appointed by the county commissioners of the district’s four counties.

With a vision of Healthy People in Healthy Communities, CDH’s emphasis is on decreasing risk factors for chronic disease, improving quality of life and increasing the years of healthy life among residents.
