introduction

​It is with great excitement and enthusiasm that Juneau County Growing in Health and Wellness releases its Strategic Plan to improve health in Juneau County.     Historically, Juneau County has been ranked as one of the unhealthiest counties in Wisconsin’s Health Rankings, in part, because of poor health choices. We hope to improve that trend! 
 
To help citizens begin to make better personal health choices, collaboration and support is the key.  A common mission, vision and goals will support partners and communities in their actions to create a healthier Juneau County.  
 
This plan acts as a map by outlining Juneau County Growing in Health and Wellness’s direction for the future and paves the way for a healthier Juneau County. ​
