Careers

Join Our Team

Together, we are building a healthier future for Whitman County - one person, one family, one community at a time.

At Whitman County Public Health, we prevent illness, support families, and build healthier places to live, learn, work, and play. The people who work here care deeply about this community and the work we do together.

Our Mission

Protect and improve the health and well-being of Whitman County.

It's work that happens quietly in the background — in clean water, safe food, healthy kids, and a community that's better prepared when hard things happen. It's not always visible, but it's always meaningful.

Our Values

Collaboration

We don't work alone. Improving health in Whitman County means working alongside schools, healthcare providers, nonprofits, and neighbors.

Accountability

We are stewards of public trust and public funding. We hold ourselves to a high standard, because our community is counting on us.

Adaptability

Public health changes. We think ahead, take ownership, and stay steady when priorities shift or the work gets hard.

What It's Like to Work Here

We're a small team serving a rural county. That means relationships run deep, the work is hands-on, and what you do here genuinely matters to the people you'll see at the grocery store, at the school, and at the county fair.

We invest in our people and we show up for each other the same way we show up for our community. If that sounds like the right fit, we'd like to meet you.
