Healthiest Wisconsin 2020: Everyone Living Better, Longer represents the third decade of statewide community health improvement planning designed to benefit the health of everyone in Wisconsin and the communities in which we live, play, work, and learn.

Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 declares a bold vision, "Everyone living better, longer." This vision reflects the plan’s twin goals:

  • Improve health across the life span
  • Eliminate health disparities and achieve health equity

The plan’s mission is to assure conditions in which people can be healthy, and members of healthy, safe, and resilient families and communities.

Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 represents the fulfillment of Wisconsin Statutes section 250.07(1)(a), which requires the Department to produce a public health agenda for the people of Wisconsin at least every 10 years. Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 represents both a product – a state health plan – and an ongoing process using science, quality improvement, partnerships, and large-scale community engagement. More than 1,500 people from all walks of life gave of their time to advise, create, and engage in the development of this plan.

It took a community of partners to create this plan, and it will take many more to implement it over the decade.
