Public Health & Human Services
The mission of the Carlton County Public Health and Human Services is to promote the health, safety, dignity, and self-sufficiency of individuals, families, and communities.
In fulfilling this mission, the agency and staff hold the following belief:
- The health and the safety of our communities are vital to the entire population of Carlton County.
- The individual and the family represent the foundation of the community.
- Preserving families and the rights to self-determination are primary values.
Carlton County is located in Northeastern Minnesota and our Public Health and Human Services programs serve a rural county of nearly 34,000 residents. Carlton County Public Health and Human Services operates offices in Cloquet and Moose Lake.
Second Harvest and our Cloquet area partners would like to know if we are meeting the food needs of the community, and if we should be making more food available. Please consider completing this brief survey to help us understand your needs.
