Hales Corners Health Department

Mission

Vision
To create an environment dedicated to optimizing the health and well-being of all members of the community through services based on education, promotion, prevention and preparedness.

In 2020, The Health Department began the process of a creating a “Community Health Assessment” (CHA) by gathering information from Residents of Hales Corners. Based on feedback from the community, our next step was to meet with residents to discuss the data provided; The intention was to help brainstorm the development of an improvement plan for each area of concern which was a success! The residents were able to help us to come up with different ideas for activities, programs and events can be created for Hales Corners, by working together in the following focus groups:

Healthy Aging
Improving Emotional Well-Being
Promoting Healthy

Behaviors to Prevent Chronic Disease

Safe and Strong Community

We look forward to continuing to find ways to serve our residents in our community!
