Strategic Plan

About MHD's Strategic Plan

The City of Milwaukee Health Department (MHD) serves a critical role in protecting, promoting, and improving the health of those who live, work, learn, and recreate in the city of Milwaukee. This charge is pursued through programs and services that are organized and delivered through the department’s five branches: 

Administration, Family and Community Health, Clinical Services, Environmental Health, and Policy, Innovation and Equity

How Do We Use Our Strategic Plan?

A strategic should be used by MHD leaders and staff to implement and monitor progress towards plan objectives, and as a primary document to inform Branch and Division-level planning. In addition, the report memorializes current thinking so future references can be understood in the context of the circumstances and conditions in which the plan was developed.

While this document is intended for the use of MHD leaders and staff, it is likely other stakeholders may find value in our strategic plan.

• Members of the public may utilize this document to learn about the upcoming goals and strategic investments of the department.

• Governmental organizations and community-based organizations can use this document to test alignment for partnership opportunities, and to explore opportunities for measure alignment and data coordination.
