ADAMS COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH PASSES REVIEW BY STATE
HEALTH OFFICIALS
MADISON—Dr. Seth Foldy, State Health Officer, today announced that
the Adams County Public Health Unit has successfully passed the state’s
health department review. As a result, Adams County Public Health will
maintain its Level II status.
“The hard-working staff of the Adams County Public Health Unit of the
Health and Human Services Department helps 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 of engaging a supportive community network to solve local public
health problems.”
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 Adams County Public Health Unit provides services important to the
community, such as:
- Health Check Primary Care Exams
- Prenatal Care Coordination
- Fluoride Supplement Program
