Public Health

The Ho-Chunk Nation Public Health Division is dedicated to improving health and well-being of Ho-Chunk Nation members and other federally recognized tribal members living within our Purchased Referred Care Delivery Areas (PRCDA).


Our team is led by a Public Health Director and includes Public Health Workers, Public Health Nurses specializing in Maternal and Child Health (MCH), Public Health Nurses focused on communicable disease prevention, tracking and response, and Public Health Specialists. Together we focus to prevent disease, promote wellness, and protect the health of our communities.


Public Health helps communities stay healthy and safe through three main areas:

Prevent

Taking early action to lower health risks and injury by sharing health information and hosting education sessions

Promote

Reinforce wellness by building awareness, honoring culture, and giving community tools to continue growth and success

Protect

Community safety is supported by surveying health trends, sharing trusted health information, and making sure community members can get the care they need
