MKE Elevate: A Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)

 

 

Welcome to MKE Elevate, a community-driven agenda for elevating the health and well-being of Milwaukee residents.

Supported by the Mayor, the Board of Health, and the City of Milwaukee Health Department, the MKE Elevate Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) responds to priority issues selected by our community, for our community, and seeks to create shared priorities to address these issues. Together we can elevate the health of all who call Milwaukee home.

What Comes Next? 

Final 2023-2028 MKE Elevate priorities have been selected, based on our Community Health Assessment data and community input from over 2,000 surveys, 86 photo submissions, and feedback at 4 community meetings. Through July 2023, we will continue identifying strategies and action steps for the 2023-2028 plan.

Recording of Fall Community Meeting

In the fall of 2022, community members had the opportunity to weigh in on our 2023-2028 priorities through a series of meetings. Below is a recording of the virtual meeting held November 1, 2022. Meetings include a brief presentation of our Community Health Assessment, results of the Priority Issue Survey and Photo Voice campaign, and small group discussions to prioritize top issues. For links to the materials shared at this meeting, please visit our November 1st Virtual Meeting Page.

Action Teams

MKE Elevate Action Team members come from all areas of the Milwaukee community through their neighborhoods and their organizations. Action Team membership is open to all who are interested in elevating the health and wellbeing of our Milwaukee community. Action Teams meet quarterly throughout the year and focus on the three Priority Action Areas: 

Built Environment

Maternal and Child Health

Safe and Supportive Communities
 

 

 

 

Steering Committee

MKE Elevate reconvened the Steering Committee in Fall of 2020. The Steering Committee is comprised of MHD partners who are aligned with the work of the Priority Action Areas in MKE Elevate. Steering Committee members are essential to propelling the implementation and evaluation process of MKE Elevate forward. 

Meet the 2023-28 Steering Committee!
