Mission:

Ensure access to high quality and cost effective services that foster the health, safety, and independence of all Rhode Islanders. 

People w/ Special Needs: People with Disabilities and Special Needs have access to the right services, at the right time and in the least restrictive setting. The EOHHS agencies touch the lives of consumers and the communities where they live in a wide variety of ways.

The Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) serves as “the principal agency of the executive branch of state government” (R.I.G.L. §42-7.2-2) responsible for managing the departments of: Health (DOH); Human Services (DHS); Children, Youth and Families (DCYF); and Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities and Hospitals (BHDDH). Last year, these agencies provided direct services to nearly 306,000 Rhode Islanders as well as an array of regulatory, protective and health promotion services to our communities.  Health and human services benefits represent $3.1 billion spending per year, or over 40 percent of the entire state budget.
