About Benton County Health Department

We believe that health care is a basic human right. It must be available, coordinated, and provided in a comprehensive manner in conjunction with other human services, when services are provided to comply with acceptable professional standards and principles. Benton County Health Department is a tax-based health department, therefore residents of Benton County are encouraged to use the services offered by the Health Department. While the Health Department receives revenue from many different sources, individual donations are gladly accepted to help defray the costs of non-reimbursable services. Home care is part of the continuous health care system and will be provided in the most cost-effective way possible. Benton County Health Department and its staff shall operate and furnish services in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, and disclose ownership information, to the best of its knowledge, based on its Quality Assurance Program and professional personnel practices.
