HEALTH OFFICIALS
MADISON—Dr. Seth Foldy, State Health Officer, today announced that
the Caledonia/Mt. Pleasant Health Department has successfully passed the
state’s health department review. As a result, the Caledonia/Mt.
Pleasant Health Department will maintain their Level II status.
“The hard-working staff of the Caledonia/Mt. Pleasant Health
Department help make their community a healthier and safer place to live,”
said Foldy. “Their department has an actively engaged and supportive
Board of Health, and does an excellent job monitoring and assessing the
needs of their community and working with partners to assure a healthy
community.”
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is required to formally
review the operations of all 92 Wisconsin local health departments at the
county or municipality level at least every five years. The review
establishes the health department as a level I, II or III agency. A level
I agency meets the minimum requirements and a level III agency meets the
maximum requirements established for a local health department.
The Caledonia/Mt. Pleasant Health Department provides services
important to the community in areas such as:
- Communicable Disease Prevention and Control
