Cudahy Health Department Remains Among Best in the State

Dr. Seth Foldy, State Health Officer, Wednesday announced that the Cudahy Health Department has successfully passed the state’s health department review. As a result, the Cudahy Health Department will maintain its Level III status.

“The hard-working staff of the Cudahy Health Department help make their community a healthier and safer place to live,” said Foldy. “Their department has an actively engaged and supportive Board of Health, and does an excellent job of monitoring and assessing the needs of their community and working with partners to assure a healthy community.”

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is required to formally review the operations of all 92 Wisconsin local health departments at the county or municipality level at least every five years. The review establishes the health department as a level I, II or III agency. A level I agency meets the minimum requirements and a level III agency meets the maximum requirements established for a local health department.

The Cudahy Health Department provides services important to the community in areas such as:

Communicable Disease Prevention and Control

Tobacco Prevention and Control

Access to Primary and Preventive Health Services

Health Promotion to Reduce Obesity and Improve Nutrition
