Welcome to Health First Wisconsin

Health is not something that begins in a doctor's office but instead starts in our homes, schools, workplaces and in our playgrounds and parks. It's in the air we breathe and the water we drink. Viewing health in this way, offers a unique and effective opportunity to improve health before the onset of disease.

At Health First Wisconsin, we believe health should not be determined by a zip code. We strive to ensure everyone has the opportunity to make the choices that allow them to live a long, healthy life regardless of their level of income, education or ethnicity.

Join us as we work toward a healthier Wisconsin!

"The last thing Wisconsin needs is to pass a law that would allow bachelorette parties to go from grocery stores to gas stations to get drunk off free liquor samples," Maureen Busalacchi, executive director of Health First Wisconsin, said. "Wisconsin is the #1 binge drinking state in the country. Do our legislators really think the people of Wisconsin need free booze?"
