| | | Healthiest Wisconsin 2020: Everyone Living Better, Longer, is the public health agenda required by Wisconsin statute every 10 years. This agenda is the first step of implementing a health improvement plan for the decade, 2010-2020.
As the title implies, Wisconsin aspires to be the healthiest state. The health of Wisconsin’s people and environment compares favorably in many ways, but the state has also slipped in recent years in several comparative measures of health. In particular, the health of certain population groups lags behind the rest of the state. To be the Healthiest State, Wisconsin must
address these persistent disparities in health outcomes, and the social, economic, educational and environmental inequities that contribute to them.
No single government agency can simply “fix” problems of this complexity. Wisconsin’s public health departments today serve as conveners and advisors to diverse partnerships that include both public and private actors, and as stewards of needed expertise and data. The “public health system” that is the audience for this plan includes any person or organization willing to work with others to create conditions in which people can be healthy. |
