The mission of the Newton Health and Human Services Department is to protect, promote and sustain the health, harmony, and well-being of all Newton residents, in a culturally responsive, customer-friendly manner with a focus on prevention.

We strive to cultivate a culture of belonging where every client, community member, and employee feels safe and valued and we work to create an environment built on respect and dignity for everyone. Our services are provided regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender expression/identity, genetic information, immigration status, language, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status.
