OFFICIALS
MADISON - Dr. Seth Foldy, State Health Officer, today announced
that the Fond du Lac County Health Department has successfully passed the
state’s health department review. As a result, the Fond du Lac County
Health Department will maintain their Level II status.
“The hard-working staff of the Fond du Lac County Health Department
help make their community a healthier and safer place to live,” said
Foldy. “Their department has an actively engaged and supportive Board of
Health, and does an excellent job of providing a number of important
public health services and programs that address the needs of the
county."
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is required to formally
review the operations of all 92 Wisconsin local health departments at the
county or municipality level at least every five years. The review
establishes the health department as a level I, II or III agency. A level
I agency meets the minimum requirements and a level III agency meets the
maximum requirements established for a local health department.
Fond du Lac County Health Department provides services important to the
community, such as:
- Women, Infant and Children (WIC) Program
- Agent Inspection Program for Division of Public Health and Dept. of
Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection
- Tobacco Control Program
