History
The Health Departments and Human Services Departments of Adams, Juneau, Marquette, Waushara, Waupaca and Green Lake Counties, along with Family Health La Clinica, FQHC, serve a rural population of 158,637 with an average per-capita income of $23,788. Among the poorest in the state, this population historically ranks in the bottom quarter of Wisconsin counties for health determinants in a range of areas that directly impact mental health and physical well-being.
The Central Wisconsin Health Partnership formed in 2011 to explore options to enhance the behavioral healthcare delivery system. The Wisconsin Mental Health and Substance Abuse Infrastructure Study in 2009 and the Federal Affordable Healthcare Act in 2010 provided an impetus to explore alternate funding and pathways for consumers to enter service.
Our partnership increases access to a range of behavioral health services through a regional collaboration that includes core benefits of 6 county human services, public health with consumer outreach, and integrated medicine. Offering a balance of population level prevention strategies and individual interventions, this unique and replicable partnership stands on a long history of successful collaboration among regional partners.
