Sauk County Needs Assessment

Dear Community Resident,

The Sauk County Health Department serves approximately 64,000 people in the 830 square miles they call home. It is my pleasure to share with you the 2018 Sauk County Community Health Needs Assessment.  On behalf of the Board of Health and the Health Department, we hope you will find this information useful in planning and responding to the needs of our community.

This document represents the work of the Sauk County Health & Wellness Coalition. The individual members of this coalition demonstrated a strong commitment to assessing health needs and to working collaboratively with the goal of improving the health of Sauk County’s population.

This document is meant to summarize the key findings from numerous data sources. 

The top 3 priorities identified by the 2018 assessment are:

• Mental Health

• Alcohol, Tobacco, & other Drugs

• Healthy Activity and Nutrition

I hope that you find this document useful and welcome any comments and suggestions you may have for improving the health of Sauk County’s citizens.

Sincerely,

Tara Hayes MSN, RN

Health Officer and Director of the Sauk County Health Department
