Your feedback helped Kewaunee County take on the challenge of getting healthier. The Get Health Kewaunee County workgroup was born out of a community health assessment performed by the Kewaunee County Public Health Department in 2015. Residents said they wanted more opportunities to get active in the community. Since then, the workgroup has helped organize walking groups and events to get people out exercising together, among other initiatives, according to Kewaunee County Public Health Department dietician and WIC Director Rachel Bauer.

The county is currently working on its next five-year Community Health Improvement Plan and is looking for new workgroup members to contribute ideas and provide the education and advocacy needed to promote health and wellness in the community. You can contact the Kewaunee County Public Health Department if you are interested.
