Healthy People Kenosha County 2020

Healthy People Kenosha County 2020 is a local initiative that partners public health with community representatives from government, public, private, and non-profit businesses and organizations for the purpose of developing a public health strategic plan for Kenosha County. The overarching goals of the strategic plan are consistent with the national initiative Healthy People 2020, and the State of Wisconsin initiative Healthiest Wisconsin -- to increase quality and years of life and eliminate health disparities.
