By Function
All government organizations have different functions they provide and unique missions that they are working toward. However, all organizations are expected to remain transparent and proactively communicate official information to citizens. GovDelivery's Digital Communication Management (DCM) is being utilized in almost all functional areas of the government, allowing organizations to automatically communicate with the public thereby providing enhanced citizen service.
Take a closer look.

Minnesota Department of Health | |
|
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is one of the top state health departments in the country.
