The Social Administration consists of 600 employees where the scope of assignments is extensive. The administration is divided into five business areas and is located throughout the municipality. Here, responsibility lies in providing care and support, assistance and services, as well as health and medical care to the municipality's citizens who need it, at all stages of life.

Krokom, the municipality in the middle of Jämtland

Krokom Municipality's borders stretch from the shores of Lake Storsjön in the south, to the extensive and wild mountains in the north, and in the east, the large forests of the northern inland take over. Here live just over 15,700 inhabitants, in the middle of Jämtland County, with proximity to good communications to the rest of Sweden. Here there are fantastic opportunities for a rich cultural and outdoor life. People move here and want to stay, for here life itself takes place. The municipality is part of a Sami administrative area, which means we work to strengthen the Sami language, to make the culture visible, and to give the Sami influence.
