🏛 Civil Updates: How La Crosse Health Department Shaped a Healthier 2024

Public health often operates behind the scenes, ensuring our community stays safe, healthy, and thriving. Today, we spotlight the La Crosse County Health Department and their 2024 Impact Report, showcasing their exceptional efforts. From dental care to food safety, their dedication has made a significant difference. Here are three standout achievements from the past year worth celebrating!

• Bright Smiles for a Bright Future: The Seal-A-Smile Program Did you know that oral health plays a huge role in overall health, especially for kids? The La Crosse County Health Department understands this well, which is why their Seal-A-Smile program provided free dental care to 729 students in 2024!

• Raising healthy kids starts with giving parents and caregivers the resources they need, and the La Crosse County Health Department nailed it this year by supporting 2,530 individuals through the Women, Infants, & Children (WIC) program.

• Here’s something you might not think about often but affects you every day: the safety of the places we dine, shop, and gather. In 2024, the La Crosse County Health Department completed 1,293 inspections of licensed facilities, ensuring that everything from your favorite restaurant to public swimming pools met critical health and safety standards.

The work of the La Crosse County Health Department is a powerful reminder that public health is all about people. It’s about protecting the vulnerable, empowering families, and creating a community where everyone has the chance to thrive. Their efforts in 2024—whether through dental care, nutritional support, or safety inspections—have touched thousands of lives in meaningful ways.

Let’s take a moment to celebrate this incredible team for all they’ve done and continue to do. Their dedication makes La Crosse County a healthier, safer, and brighter place to call home.
