Welcome and Invitation to Action
This plan is the result of the efforts of many community members, who are striving to move our
community toward a Healthy Brown County in 2020. While this assessment and action plan
represent the efforts of many partners, the accomplishments will depend on the response of
Brown County citizens individually and as a whole to embrace healthier lifestyles and support, in
some cases, a culture change, to improve personal and community health.
We would like to thank the Steering Committee, committee chairs/members, and community
assessment partner group for their efforts towards identifying the community priorities and
establishing the intervention plan enclosed. This effort began in 2010 with Steering Committee
planning, an assessment/priority selection process over a six month period, and more than a year
of action group meetings to develop the implementation strategies and benchmarks. We would
especially like to thank Bellin Health System and Hospital Sisters Health System -St. Vincent/St.
Mary’s hospitals- for their commitment and leadership on the Steering Committee and action
groups. We would also like to acknowledge the Wisconsin Division of Public Health and the
United Way of Brown County for their assistance on the Steering Committee and action groups.
Finally, we would like to invite anyone who wishes to participate on one of the three priority
action groups, identified in this report, to contact us (see below) for assistance. If this is not
possible, please monitor the progress of the action groups on www.co.brown.wi.us or www.de-
pere.org and follow the links to the health department and the Community Health Improvement
Planning Process (CHIP). A brochure outlining Brown County’s action plan is also available
through this link. We hope you will promote the CHIP strategies in the community as we strive
to achieve a Healthy Brown County for 2020.

Executive Summary
In the summer of 2010, the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) Steering Committee
brought together a broad array of community partners (see listings on pages 4, 6, 10, and 15).
The partners’ purpose was to review community health data, and share their community
knowledge and expertise related to each issue’s strengths, weaknesses, resources, gaps, and
priority ranking in our community. The following health priorities were identified:
Adequate, Appropriate and Safe Food and Nutrition
Oral Health
Unhealthy Alcohol and Drug Use (primary focus on alcohol at this time)
Three action planning groups consisting of diverse community members met regularly to
develop a plan for each priority with goals, outcomes, and actions. These groups were facilitated
by Bellin Health System (food/nutrition and alcohol) and Hospital Sisters Health System –St
Vincent/St Mary’s (oral health). The groups continue to meet to implement the actions. The
Steering Committee continues to meet periodically to review and guide the progress of the action
groups.
This plan/assessment meets the Wisconsin state statute (public health departments) and Patient
Protection and Affordable Health Act (not-for-profit health networks) requirements.

Health Priority: Adequate, Appropriate, and Safe Food and Nutrition
Adequate, appropriate, and safe food and nutrition is defined as regular and sufficient
consumption of nutritious foods for all ages, to support normal growth and development of
children and promote physical, emotional, and social well-being for all people.
Adequate, appropriate, and safe food and nutrition is linked with a reduction in the risk
for a number of chronic disease, including:
o Obesity
o Type 2 diabetes
o Cancer
o Heart disease
o Stroke
Good nutrition is defined as meeting nutrient recommendations while maintaining proper
caloric intake. This also includes safe handling, preparation, serving, and storage of foods and
beverages. Ready and appropriate access to nutritious foods throughout the year for all
individuals and families in Wisconsin communities is a key factor in proper nutrition (U.S.
Dietary Guidelines, 2005).
Impact Healthy eating at the basic level provides a source of enjoyment and a sense of family and
community for all people across Wisconsin. It is a cornerstone to prevent chronic disease and
promote vibrant health. Healthy eating, simply put, is a staple for a good life. Finding a balance
in daily nutrition can be achieved from foods associated with very different cultures, customs, or
places of origin (United States Department of Agriculture [USDA], 2005; USDA My Pyramid
Plan).
24 % of Wisconsin and 27 % of Brown County adults are obese (2008 WCHR Full
Report).
77.2% of Wisconsin and 78.3% of Brown County adults eat LESS than 5 servings of
fruits and vegetables per day (2008 WCHR Full Report).
23% of high school students are overweight or obese in Wisconsin (Youth Risk Behavior
Survey, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, 2009; Youth Risk Behavior
Surveillance System, 2009, CDC).
60% of Wisconsin middle and high schools sell unhealthy foods, such as soda, candy,
chips, or cookies in school vending machines or snack bars (School Health Profiles:
School Level Impact Measures, 2008, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction;
School Health Profiles, CDC).
30% of the 55,000 preschool-aged children participating in the WIC program
(Wisconsin Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children)
are overweight or obese (Pediatric Nutrition Data, Wisconsin Department of Health
Services, 2008; Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System, CDC).
8
Residents’ Food Security Conditions
One in ten Wisconsin households has low levels of food security, and one in twenty-five has low
enough levels that hunger is likely; both values have worsened over the past decade (Nord, et al.,
2009). Between 2005 and 2007, Wisconsin FoodShare participation increased by 37 percent.
High levels of increased participation were observed in central and western Wisconsin (Isaacs &
Smeedling, 2009).
The percentage of adults in Wisconsin that report 0-5 servings of fruits and vegetables consumed
in one day from 2001-2007 are reported below. The average consumption overall in Wisconsin
is 77.2 %, with a range of 64%-86.3%. The average consumption in Brown County was slightly
higher at 78.3%. Brown County ranks 42 out of 72 counties in Wisconsin for this statistic.
Of particular concern, overweight and obesity trends in the U.S. have been on the rise. In less
than 20 years, overweight and obesity has increased more than 25% across both genders, all
ages, races and educational attainments (Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, CDC).
The counties are shaded, with lighter
counties having more people with
nutritious dietary habits. Hatched
counties are not reported (NR).

Vision
Support programs that make healthy foods (fruits and vegetables) more accessible and affordable
for low income residents of Brown County through WIC, FoodShare and food pantry initiatives.
Goal 1
From 2012-2015, reduce the barriers and accelerate the use of WIC Farmer’s Market Nutrition
Program (FNMP) vouchers and Wisconsin Quest card from FoodShare Electronic Benefits
Transfer (EBT) system for low income residents of Brown County.
Outcomes
1. Increase the redemption rate of Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program vouchers by 5% in
Brown County.
2. Increase the utilization of Wisconsin Quest card from FoodShare EBT system at farmer’s
markets by 50%.
Key Actions
1. Continue to have Farmers at WIC East on check pick-up days in summer/fall as farmers
are available, to make it convenient to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables.
2. Identify/search for interested farmer for the West side WIC location for the check pick up
days for the upcoming farmers’ market season (3x per month).
3. Offer education sessions or demonstrations regarding produce preparation at either WIC
office when the farmer is on site (how often- will be determined). With this action, we
may partner with another agency such as a UWEX, UWGB Dietetic intern, or a chef.
4. Promote WIC and FoodShare voucher usage through local agencies (i.e. UWEX, WIC,
Healthcare providers, Hispanic Interagency, schools, etc.) and BadgerCare providers.
5. Develop a plan for sustainability for EBT FoodShare usage.
Assist Farmer’s Market Coordinators in finding funding and/or sponsors.
6. Investigate/Identify potential sponsor(s) for “Double your Bucks” program.
7. Identify best practices by using “Got-Access” tool kit.
Goal 2
From 2012-2015, improve the food choices offered by food pantries, increasing the percentage
of healthy* food options and reducing the amount of low-nutrient foods.
*as defined by dietary guidelines
Outcomes
1. Increase the percent of healthy foods that are donated in food pantry food drives by 5%.
2. At least two area pantries will adopt practices that prioritize healthy food selection in all
food sourcing.
Key Actions
1. Complete a base line inventory of what is currently being donated through food drives.
2. Educate public on donating healthy foods.
3. Build relationships with pantries to explore ways to maximize acquisition of nutritious
foods.
4. Educate pantries regarding what to keep and what to toss from their donations.

Health Priority: Oral Health
Oral health is defined as being free of mouth pain, tooth decay, tooth loss, oral and throat
cancer, oral sores, birth defects, gum (periodontal) disease, and other disease that affect the
mouth and surrounding structures. This requires access to a team approach to providing
comprehensive, good-quality health care services that are also only cost-effective.
Early preventions in oral health care include:
o Tooth brushing
o Flossing
o Balanced nutritional and infant feeding practices
o Fluoride varnish in both children and adults
o Dental sealants in both children and adults
o Care provided across the lifespan, especially in older adults who are at an
increased risk for malnutrition
Impact
Oral health includes being free of chronic oral-facial pain, oral and pharyngeal (throat) cancers,
oral soft-tissue lesions, birth defects (cleft lip and palate), and other diseases/disorders. Human
beings across the lifespan need to be able to carry out the basic human functions, which include:
chewing, swallowing, speaking, smiling, kissing, and singing. Oral health and overall health are
interrelated; good health can be directly affected by the conditions of a person’s oral health.
People that suffer from immune suppressant diseases, which can include HIV/AIDS, should take
extra precaution with oral health is this is a direct factor in developing infections. Research has
also shown to be linked with gum & tissue disease, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and adverse
pregnancy outcomes.
The percentage of Wisconsin adults with toss loss due to decay or gum disease in
Wisconsin is 40%, with Brown County slightly lower at 32.1% (Wisconsin
Department of Health Services, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System).
The percentage of Wisconsin adults that visited a dentist in the past year vary by
race, with Whites at 76%, African Americans at 66%, Hispanics at 61%, and
other multiracial groups at 69% (Wisconsin Department of Health Services,
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System).
The number of adults 18 years and older that did not visit a dentist in the past year
in Brown County is 22%, slightly lower than the Wisconsin state percentage of
25%. Brown County ranks 23 of 72 in the state with this statistic (2008 WCHR
Full Report).
The percentage of Medicaid members that received a dental service in 2008/2009
was 25% in the state of Wisconsin, with Brown County at 20.1%. The ratio of
Medicaid dentists to Medicaid members is 1/72 (Wisconsin Division of Health
Services, Division of Health Care Access & Accountability).
12
The percentage of Wisconsin’s Head Start Children, divided by region and race, that have
experience with Caries, untreated decay, and early childhood Caries is shown below.
Poor oral health has been linked to oral and throat cancers in research studies. The cancer and
mortality rates due to age-adjusted oral health for the United States and Wisconsin by race and
ethnicity is displayed in the table below.
13
Vision
Assure appropriate access to effective and adequate oral health delivery systems, utilizing a
diverse and adequate workforce, for populations of differing races, ethnicities, sexual identities
and orientations, gender identities, and educational or economic status and those with
disabilities.
Goal 1
By 2015, we will reduce the number of oral health related emergency room visits by adults.
Outcome
By 2015, community leaders will have identified and implemented at least three programs that
have demonstrated effectiveness in preventing tooth decay in adults.
Key Actions
1. An oral health education program will be developed as a collaborative activity by the
three hospital system emergency departments. They will have considered the desirability
and feasibility of developing and including an oral health kit.
2. Oral health initiatives that can be implemented with groups serving adults will be
developed.
a. Local health professional educators will be encouraged to review and update
health professional educational curricula and continuing education courses to
include content on oral health and the associated between oral health and general
health. Education to include instruction on how to administer a Basic Screening
Survey (BSS).
b. Health care providers will be encouraged to conduct oral screenings as part of
routine physical exams and make appropriate referrals.
c. Interdisciplinary training of medical, oral health, and allied health professional
personnel in counseling patients about how to reduce risk factors common to oral
and general health will be developed.
3. The feasibility and desirability of a Community Dental Health Coordinator (CDHC) for
adults in Brown County will be explored.
4. A mechanism to provide cleaning and prevention services for adults will be developed.
a. A Basic Screening Survey (BSS) will be administered on a predetermined
schedule at outreach sites throughout the community (e.g., senior centers, shelters,
NWTC, etc.)
b. A list and schedule of community events at which oral health community leaders
can provide oral health supplies/oral health screenings will be identified.
14
Goal 2
By 2015, improve the oral health services available for Medicaid patients.
Outcome
By 2015, expand and increase the access to oral health care for Medicaid and self- pay patients.
Key Actions
1. In collaboration with the Brown Door Kewaunee Dental Society, protocols for
identifying and setting priorities for adult patients needing general dentistry services will
be developed and implemented. Consideration will be given to approaching this through
identification of at risk populations, such as diabetics.
a. An active and up-to-date database of programs that have demonstrated
improvement in access to care will have been created.
b. Ways to assist low income patients in arranging and keeping oral health
appointments will be identified and implemented.
c. Protocols to provide care for adult patients in need of general dentistry services
through NEW community Clinic’s dental program at NWTC will be developed
and implemented.
2. New ways to stabilize patients with extensive decay will be identified.
a. In collaboration with local Oral Surgeons, what kinds of patients should be seen at
the NEW Community Clinic dental site will be identified.
b. We will continue to pursue ways that make seeing patients in the oral surgery
office feasible.
c. In consultation with local Oral Surgeons, options for Brown County to serve as a
rotation site for Oral Surgery students will have been explored.
d. Collaboration with WDA’s Mission of Mercy program to determine desirability
and feasibility of offering a community adult dental day will have taken place.

Health Priority: Alcohol and Other Drug Use
Alcohol and other drug use are defined as any use of a substance(s) that results in negative
consequences. These negative effects can be induced by alcohol, prescription drugs, or illegal
mood-altering substances.
Negative consequences include, but are not limited to:
o Operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated
o Drinking while pregnant
o Alcohol dependence
o Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder
o Alcohol-related or drug-related hospitalizations or deaths
o Heavy drinking
o Alcohol-related liver cirrhosis deaths
o Motor vehicle injury or death
o Liquor law violations
o Underage drinking
o Non-medical or illicit drug use
o Arrests for drug law violations, or other related crimes (e.g., property or
violent crimes)
Impact
Wisconsin is at the top of the nation when it comes to wasted lives, harm, and death associated
with its drinking culture, which is tolerant of excessive and dangerous illegal drinking. These
effects of the culture are related to societal problems that include: homelessness, child abuse,
crime, unemployment, injury, health problems, hospitalization, suicide, as well as fetal
abnormalities and early death. All of these alcohol-related problems result in $2.7 billion in
costs (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel).
Wisconsin ranked first in 2008 in the rate of adult drinkers, second in the rate of
adult heavy drinkers (60 or more drinks per month), and first in the rate of binge
drinking (5 or more drinks on occasion) (Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System).
Wisconsin ranked fourth in the rate of youth who rode with a driver who had been
drinking, fifth in the rate of youth who drove after drinking, first in the rate of
alcohol use of youth, and third in the rate of binge drinking among youth (2007
Youth Risk Behavior Survey, Centers for Disease Control).
Wisconsin ranks third in the nation in per-capita consumption of beer (Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System).
Drug-related mortality among American Indians and African Americans is two to
three higher than among Whites, with 19.4/100,000 and 18.6/100,000 respectively
to 8.7/100,000 for Whites (National Institute on Drug Abuse, 2003).
Homeless people have a higher rate of alcohol and other drug abuse, with a
decrease in access to services compared to the general population (Fischer &
Breakey, 1991; Johnson & Cnaan, 1995).
17
The percentage of adults in Wisconsin that drank alcohol excessively is shown below by gender.
Motor vehicle crashes due to alcohol is shown below by age group, as well as the number of
injuries and deaths from alcohol related crashes in Brown County in 2008.
18
The percentage of high school students in Wisconsin who had at least one drink of alcohol.
The percentages of high school students who had five or more drinks in a row within a couple of
hours (binge drinking) and those students that rode in a vehicle driven by someone who had been
drinking alcohol are depicted below, respectively.
19
Vision
To positively impact the culture surrounding unhealty alcohol use in Brown County and De Pere
through a community-wide partnership among individuals, families, and organizations.
Goal 1
By 2014, 70% of all primary care providers in Brown County and De Pere will incorporate an
alcohol, depression, and substance abuse screening tool for patients over 18 years of age.
Outcomes 1. Bellin Health, Prevea, and Aurora Health Care will utilize a consistent approach to
screening for alcohol abuse among their primary care population by 2014.
2. A community-wide resource network for health care providers to access after screening
will be packaged and available for providers to access by 2014.
3. Data will be used to stratify high-risk groups and target initiatives to greatest opportunity
by 2014.
Key Actions
1. Identify current alcohol abuse screening tools used within each health system. Work
towards getting all patient care facilities to use a similar tool within the primary care
model.
2. Coordinate all resources and create an easy access platform for providers.
3. Support legislative intervention that will positively impact the reduction of alcohol abuse
and binge drinking.
Goal 2
By 2015, the incidence of binge drinking in accordance with county health rankings will
decrease from 27% to 25%.
Outcomes
1. Support a platform that educates the community on the effects of binge drinking.
2. Support the infrastructure and advocate for funding to train those who sell alcohol on the
key aspects of safe serving.
3. Partner with local businesses and events to create an awareness of the impact of binge
drinking during local events and work to mitigate the risks.
Key Actions
1. Educate and advocate.
2. Participate in local forums in support of uniform statutes within and throughout the
surrounding communities.
3. Assist with speaking engagements that highlight the work of this Task Force and the
collaborative efforts of the Bay Area Community Council.
4. Partner with local businesses to support “responsible drinking” at community events.
20
Goal 3
Zero deaths from alcohol induced traffic fatalities by 2020.
Outcomes
1. The OWI Task Force will continue and there will be a reduction of alcohol induced
traffic fatalities.
2. The culture within the community will shift and individuals will take accountability for
not drinking and driving, and increased alternatives will be available.
Key Actions
1. Assist in securing funding for further OWI Task Force operations.
2. Speak to local agencies in support of stronger regulations surrounding drunk driving.
3. Create a video depicting the OWI Task Force in action. Utilize for local speaking
engagements.
