Invitation to Nominate Those Who Are Creating Opportunities and Access for All to Thrive
(MILWAUKEE) April 24, 2024 — The Milwaukee County Office of Equity invites the community to nominate a business, organization, or individual for the Milwaukee County Health Equity Champion Award. The award program shines a light on those leading the way to health and racial equity, serving as role models of how to reduce disparities in quality, access, and outcomes to make Milwaukee County the healthiest county in Wisconsin. The application is available at county.milwaukee.gov/equity and is due Friday, May 3.
The award program is tied to the fifth anniversary of Milwaukee County declaring racism as a public health crisis. The Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors made this declaration on May 19, 2019, becoming the first jurisdiction in the nation to do so. Since then, the County has taken an all-hands approach to realizing its vision that by achieving racial equity, Milwaukee is the healthiest county in Wisconsin.
