Did you know that Wisconsin health departments are required to conduct community education on 11 identified health priorities? To accomplish this, every month Sawyer County Public Health sends out a new health priority message into the community. We do radio announcements and talk shows, a newspaper article and newsletter features, posters, and now we’re happy to add our Health Priority of the Month message on this web site.
