The work will culminate in a draft maternal health strategic plan that will be launched at a statewide Maternal Health Summit the following year. The strategic plan will incorporate task force activities to support statewide and community-level maternal health improvement efforts and to provide ongoing education and technical assistance to support both state and local actions around maternal health.

#ICYMI: Secretary-designee Kirsten Johnson was proud to stand beside parents, educators, clinicians, and community leaders to inspire young people to consider careers in health care. Evidence shows young people who don’t see themselves represented in a profession tend not to see it as a career option. The Black Men in White Coats campaign aims to change that and increase the number of Black men pursuing careers in the medical industry by laying the foundation for success with mentorship and networking. What a great campaign! What a great event! Medical College of Wisconsin Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Endowment

No one person is beyond hope, and no one person is too far from healthier tomorrows.” Director of Substance Use Initiatives Michelle Haese joined DHS Assistant Deputy Secretary Sarah Valencia, Wisconsin Department of Justice and Attorney General Josh Kaul, and hundreds of Wisconsinites focused on building healthy communities at this week's Opioids, Stimulants, and Trauma Summit.
