Public Health Council
The Public Health Council was created by 2003 Wisconsin Act 186. By statute, the Council’s purpose is to advise the Department of Health and Family Services, the Governor, the Legislature and the public on progress in implementing the state’s 10-year public health plan and coordination of responses to public health emergencies. The 23 members of the Council were appointed by Governor Jim Doyle and met for the first time in October 2004.
This site provides access to information about the Public Health Council and its activities, including meeting schedules, agendas, and minutes. The site also provides information about the work of three Council committees: the Executive Committee, the Emergency Preparedness Committee, and the State Health Plan Committee.
