The current design of our health and human services system is very complex and difficult for the average person to navigate and understand.   With the availability of 2-1-1, individuals from Mason County are able to locate needed health and human services at no cost, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, as follows:

 

• Dial the number 2-1-1 or 1(800) 887-1107

• Text 898-211

• Through the website at www.HWMUW.ORG/211 and chat live with a resource specialist 

• Download the 2-1-1 mobile application (search “MI211” in your app store).

​

Other benefits of having a single location to access information about available health and human services include:

• Increasing efficiencies by providing health and human service professionals and employers with an easy to remember number to access accurate information on behalf of clients and employees;

• Eliminating the need for health and human service providers to maintain separate resource directories;

• Providing accurate data to be used for community planning and funding purposes; and

• Serving as a means of providing information in times of disaster.
