The Wisconsin Department of Health Services Chronic Disease Prevention Program invites organizations and partners around Wisconsin that work in healthcare, food systems, non-profits, and public health to share their perspectives through our food is medicine survey link.

The data collected will allow us to assess the current status and determine future planning and support for food is medicine initiatives.

Our Nutrition and Physical Activity Program leads our state’s efforts to:

  • Increase access to nutritious and culturally affirming foods
  • Help increase food sovereignty for tribal nations in Wisconsin
  • Increase access to safe spaces to move one's body
  • Increase access to safe spaces to active transportation methods
  • Increase continuity of care for breastfeeding people
  • Increase access to high quality early care and education programming

Our program works with partners to prevent obesity and chronic disease throughout the state. We developed the Wisconsin Physical Activity and Nutrition Road Map, P-03170 (PDF).

This guide supports community efforts to create healthier places and spaces that center equity and promote good health.

Chronic Disease Prevention Program

The Nutrition and Physical Activity Program is part of our larger effort to prevent chronic diseases. We coordinate with other partners to make a greater impact. Partners include other state agencies, key statewide organizations, and local coalitions.

We provide resources and materials that can be used locally in a variety of settings to help people and communities eat nutritious and culturally affirming foods and move their bodies.
