Regional Coordinator
Public Health Regions (PHR)
DSHS launched new branding for our Public Health Regions. Each of the eight distinctly different areas have their own look and identity. The PHR acronym is being phased out, and in its place, a unique name reflective of the geographic area, together with a new color. These new names help define each region to the people we serve and work with.

If you or a member of your staff needs the training to become certified to provide vision, hearing, or spinal screenings, please contact the nearest Regional Coordinator. They will help you locate and register for classes in your area.
