Formation

Sherburne County Health and Human Services (SCHHS) formed in 2011, when the social services and public health departments merged in an effort to provide greater cohesion of services, while maintaining greater fiscal responsibility of public dollars. SCHHS is an individual department, under the autonomy of the government of Sherburne County, reporting directly to the Sherburne County Board of Commissioners. Within SCHHS, there is one Director, four Division Managers, sixteen Unit Supervisors, and approximately two-hundred staff.
