About Us

The Minority Health Program provides statewide leadership for policy measures that aim to improve the health of vulnerable populations in Wisconsin. It assures coordination of efforts intended to reduce health disparities. Our work is guided by three levels of authority: 1) the federal Office of Minority Health strategic plan, the National Partnership for Action; 2) Wis. Stats. 250.20; and 3) the state health plan, Healthiest Wisconsin 2020. We work to consolidate these three levels of mandate into a coherent plan of action that our partners can implement to improve health outcomes for minority communities. 

We provide direct services as well as indirect services. Direct services include the administration of community grants; the minority public health information campaign; publication of the Minority Health Report and administrative support to the Minority Health Leadership Council. Indirect services include the collection, organization and distribution of relevant information to our partners.
