Public Health Workers

“To improve health and well-being for individuals and families through community-based health promotion and disease prevention.”

A free program for Ho-Chunk enrolled members and their families, federally recognized tribal members living in the Purchase Referred Care Delivery Area (PRCDA), and Ho-Chunk Nation employees and their families.

The three core domains of Public Health Workers are: Prevent, Promote, Protect

Prevent

Take action early to reduce health risks by sharing knowledge, creating safe spaces, and addressing issues before they grow.

Promote

Support wellness by fostering awareness, uplifting culture, and helping our communities thrive.

Protect

Keep communities safe by monitoring health risks, sharing trusted information, and ensuring access to care.
