Asthma ranks as an important public health issue in
Wisconsin, and is routinely identified as a high priority in state and
federal public health plans. Statewide asthma surveillance data
demonstrate that such attention is warranted, and these data have helped
identify populations where the burden of asthma in the state is
particularly high. DHS comprehensively addresses the burden of asthma
through surveillance, partnerships and interventions. Forming strong
collaborations and partnerships with key asthma stakeholders around the
state has been one of the program's greatest strengths over the past 15
years.
