In 2018 Milwaukee County declared racism to be a public health crisis and created the vision that “by achieving racial equity, Milwaukee will be with healthiest county in Wisconsin.” To achieve this bold goal the County is focusing on three strategic focus areas including: creating intentional inclusion, bridging the gap and investing in equity. The County Strategy Dashboard was created as a performance management tool to hold us, Milwaukee County, accountable to achieving our vision. In partnership with outside organizations, the dashboard showcases metrics that are essential to measuring the health of our county, which we are working to improve. The dashboard provides transparency to our progress on three key areas that will lead to a heathier community: institutional practices, living conditions and health outcomes. In addition, the Strategy Dashboard is utilized by internal departments to identify historical trends to assist in identifying areas of concern that may be used to inform them of new strategies, policies or initiatives to be focused on.
