The following is a description of public health: The Milwaukee Health Department is a leader in assuring that the city is the healthiest city in the nation, with the best personal health care, environmental health, and population-based preventive services possible. Family and Community Health Five multidisciplinary divisions are organized to accomplish specific community health outcomes. They assess public health needs, develop healthy public policy, assure that the public, nonprofit, and private sector work together to accomplish outcomes, and provide direct services when needed. Maternal and Child Health outcomes include reducing disparities in infant death and increasing school-readiness of preschool children. Activities include family case management and home visiting programs for pregnant women and young children, follow-up of infants with special needs, and community-based promotion of healthy pregnancy and childrearing. Healthy Behaviors and Healthcare Access focuses on health promotion among youth and adults, and on assuring access to preventive and primary health care. Key health promotion outcomes address reduction of tobacco use, violent injuries, teen pregnancy, and cancer while improving diet, cardiovascular, and mental health. Home Environmental Health outcomes focus on preventable conditions like childhood lead poisoning, asthma, and unintentional injuries. Consumer Environmental Health promotes the outcomes of safe food, in addition to equity, fairness, and the safety of consumer purchases in retail establishments. Conducts all food inspections within the City of Milwaukee. Disease Control and Prevention seeks to control communicable diseases, and to reduce and manage hazardous contamination of air, water, and soil. Laboratories Three laboratories perform tests that help health professionals analyze the risk of disease, prevent exposures, and diagnose illness. Thank you for your help!
