Healthy People Portage County began in 1999 as a community-wide initiative with the goal of establishing an ongoing process for identifying and addressing health needs in Portage County.
The intent of Healthy People Portage County's Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) is to foster successful partnerships in order to improve the health of our community. The Healthy People Portage County Executive Committee, which represents a broad spectrum of Portage County community stakeholders including constituents from education, government, health care, not-for-profit agencies, and coalitions, reviewed county and state health data in relationship to the State of Wisconsin's health priorities and national health objectives for 2030 and beyond. The executive committee is behind the scenes at each stage of the CHIP to ensure successful implementation.
The mission, vision and values of Healthy People Portage County are as follows:
Fostering collaboration for community wellbeing.
Optimal wellbeing through safe and healthy environments in the Portage County community.
