help offset the disposal fee for community members. Community members are asking for sharps kiosks to
be located in their communities. The Public Health Department charges a fee for sharps disposal at the
office. Businesses bring their sharps to Public Health, and we have seen a cost barrier among community
members. We partner with the Sheriff’s Department, Jail, and Mental Wellness and Recovery Services to
dispose of sharps.
The Fees for Service schedule will be adjusted in June to align with the disposal fee for different-sized
containers received from businesses.

grandmother. After the baby was born, both Mom and baby were placed in a foster home. Mom was
reunified with her children after receiving services through the program. Mom is now waiting to hear if
she gets accepted into a Criminal Justice Program. She still has a close relationship with the foster family,
went to Guatemala on a Mission Trip, and will be off probation in a year.

Independent Living Network Professionals Appreciation Month, and May 3rd-9th as Public Servant
Recognition Week. May is also Older Americans Month, Mental Health Awareness Month, and they
celebrated Case Manager week. Income Maintenance PAC released the draft amendment to the SNAP

work anniversaries, and to Ann Teuteberg, celebrating 25 years. Child Protective Services hosted a Foster
Parent Appreciation event, and the state certification review for Emergency Mental Health (Crisis) and

6. Reports
1. ADRC Staff Presentation: Success Story - Stephanie Rasmussen
Disability Benefit Specialist, Stephanie Rasmussen, presented on a consumer with severe anxiety causing
memory impairment. In October, the consumer sought assistance for SSI reinstatement. Social Security
mistakenly mailed her a 15-page disability packet, causing undue stress upon the consumer. Stephanie
offered reassurance that she did not need to complete the large packet and worked with social security to
ensure nothing had gotten mixed up on their end. After the SSI reinstatement, Stephanie next assisted the
consumer with becoming connected to an attorney to establish an ABLE account, along with other
resources including housing, energy assistance, FoodShare, and a LifeLine phone.
2. ADRC Manager Program and Financial Report - Sarah Zielke/Paul Brenner
Manager Sarah Zielke highlighted numerous items from her program report. Bronson Stelzer began in
April as the new Dementia Care Specialist. Sarah noted there is currently one opening for a nutrition site
aide due to an upcoming retirement. She also reported that the nutrition van was included in the Highway
Department fleet upgrade this year and is now operational. ADRC staff continue completing daily time
and task reporting in 15-minute increments to allow for Medicaid claim reimbursement, and this
reporting will soon transition to the PeerPlace data tracking system. In recognition of Older Americans
Month, Sarah acknowledged the contributions older adults make to the community.
Fiscal Manager Paul Brenner reported that budget expenditures remain on track for this point in the year.
Transportation spending continues to show lower utilization, and discussions are ongoing regarding ways
to increase utilization, including the possibility of offering grocery and fitness/wellness transportation
trips.
3. ADRC Advocacy Report - Sarah Zielke
Manager Sarah Zielke informed the board the Patient Representative Bill was passed in March and will go
into effect in June. This bill will allow for discharge and admission to a lower level care facility by a
hospital-appointed representative versus waiting for a court-appointed guardian which can delay the
process. There are ongoing ethical concerns and efficacy concerns yet to be addressed.
4. ADRC Strategic Plan Update - Sarah Zielke
Manager Sarah Zielke provided status updates on their three strategic goals:
1. To further expand staff knowledge on community resources, staff participated in a poverty simulation,
met with local hospice agencies, and partnered with UW-Extension and the Mental Wellness & Recovery
division to learn more about end-of-life planning resources.
2. To increase community awareness of the ADRC's offerings, a new "contact us" form was added to the
ADRC website, program outreach such as wellness groups and Medicare & You workshops have
continued, and staff partnered with Public Health for an emergency preparedness needs assessment.
3. To enhance a healthy work environment, staff have participated in potlucks and will soon be hosting
their annual team "org day" to reinforce connections.

Brittnay Fortuna’s Director’s Report
Administration Division
May proved to be another busy month for the Administration Team.
April worked diligently to ensure the Food Safety and Recreational Licensing (FSRL) renewal notices
were printed and distributed at the beginning of the month. The administrative staff has been actively
processing payments and issuing updated licenses.
Audra assisted with providing annual training and respirator fit testing to front-line staff to ensure
proper use and sealing of N95 masks, reinforcing our commitment to safety and preparedness.
Fifteen wheelchairs were loaned out in May, and Audra has been busy cleaning and maintaining the
wheelchairs being returned.
Sarah has been focusing on processing payments and making deposits, working on budgets, meeting
with staff to finalize consumer fee increases for 2027, and helping with supply ordering.
As always, we remain dedicated to supporting both the community and our staff. Our ongoing efforts
include facilitating appointment scheduling, providing support at immunization clinics, conducting car
seat installs and providing education, offering Breastfeeding Peer Counseling, and distributing water
sample kits.
Community Health Division
Community Health Division Update: Force Fields Festival Partnership
The Chippewa County Department of Public Health's Community Health Division partnered with End
Overdose, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing overdose deaths through
education, naloxone distribution, and overdose response training, during the 2026 Force Fields
Festival in Cadott. End Overdose works at music festivals and events across the country to equip
attendees with lifesaving knowledge and resources that help prevent and respond to overdose
emergencies.
As part of this collaboration, the Community Health Division supplied overdose prevention and harm
reduction materials to support festival outreach efforts. Resources included naloxone administration
quick guides in both English and a newly translated Spanish version, helping expand access to
overdose response information for a broader audience.
The department also provided 250 boxes (500 doses) of nasal naloxone and more than 2,500 fentanyl
test strips for distribution during the event. These resources help increase access to lifesaving
overdose reversal medication and drug-checking supplies in settings where individuals may be at
elevated risk of exposure to fentanyl and other substances.
Page 22 of 88

December 18, 2025 This partnership represents an important opportunity to extend public health outreach beyond
traditional settings, meet people where they are, and support a safer festival environment through
education, prevention, and access to harm reduction resources.
Rabies Prevention and Surveillance Activities
As we move into the warmer months, it is not uncommon for the Health Department to receive an
increase in calls related to bats. This time of year, bats become more active and are more likely to find
their way into homes, garages, and other buildings, resulting in potential human or pet exposures.
Recently, the Health Department submitted several bats for rabies testing. We are pleased to report
that all the bats tested negative for rabies.
While these results are reassuring, testing remains an important part of our public health response.
Rabies is a communicable disease that can be transmitted through bites or other exposures from
infected animals. Although rabies is rare, it is almost always fatal once symptoms develop. The good
news is that it is preventable when appropriate medical care is sought promptly after a potential
exposure.
When reports of bat encounters are received, our staff conduct exposure assessments to determine
whether testing is recommended. This due diligence helps ensure that individuals receive appropriate
guidance and, when necessary, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) to prevent rabies infection. Just as
importantly, testing can often help avoid unnecessary medical treatment when results are negative.
We continue to encourage community members to contact the Health Department if they find a bat
in their home or have concerns about a possible exposure. Situations involving direct contact with a
bat, waking up in a room with a bat, or circumstances where a bite or scratch cannot be ruled out
should be evaluated promptly. Safely capturing and testing the bat whenever possible helps guide
medical decision-making and protects both individual and community health.
Rabies surveillance is a routine but important part of our communicable disease prevention efforts,
and we will continue to work closely with healthcare providers, local veterinarians, and community
members to ensure timely assessment and response to potential exposures.
Ebola Outbreak Situational Awareness Update
Public health agencies continue to monitor the ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of
the Congo (DRC) and Uganda. While the situation remains serious in the affected regions, the risk to
the United States and Wisconsin remains low at this time. There are currently no high-risk travelers
returning to the United States, and no cases associated with this outbreak have been identified in the
U.S.
Federal partners, including the CDC, have implemented several precautionary measures to help
protect the public. Travelers arriving from Uganda, the DRC, and South Sudan are being routed
through designated international airports where they receive enhanced health screening and follow-
up guidance as appropriate.
Page 23 of 88

December 18, 2025 From a local public health perspective, we are staying informed through regular updates from the
CDC, Wisconsin Department of Health Services, and other trusted public health partners. We are also
communicating with local healthcare providers, hospitals, and EMS agencies to ensure they have the
latest information and remain prepared to identify and respond appropriately should a potential case
be identified. While the likelihood of a local case remains very low, maintaining awareness and
preparedness is an important part of our role in protecting community health.
At this time, no additional actions are recommended for the general public in Wisconsin beyond
routine travel precautions and awareness. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and
provide updates should conditions change.

Communicable Disease
The Health Officer is required by Wisconsin State Statute 252.05 to report information on current
communicable disease reporting and follow-up to the Health and Human Services Board.
In May, we received 95 new reports: 27 confirmed (9 Chlamydia, 5 Lyme Disease, and 4 Anaplasmosis);
7 probable cases (7 Lyme Laboratory Reports), and 44 that did not meet the definition of a case (15
Lyme Laboratory Reports, 7 Hepatitis A, and 6 Lead-Blood Levels-Adult). See the attached report for
further breakdown by disease type.
Environmental Health Division (EH)
May has kicked off the summer season with a bang! Environmental Health staff completed 49 food
and recreational safety inspections to help ensure facilities were operating in compliance with health
and safety regulations. In addition, 24 new businesses opened - new campgrounds, restaurants, gas
stations, tourist rooming houses, and more. This has been a huge increase over the last year and has
brought a heavier workload for our inspectors working with new business owners to educate them on
safety and regulations. Chippewa County currently has the largest number of FSRL licenses the county
has ever seen!
The entire team completed campground training with a DATCP agent to gain a better understanding
of the campground code and to better assist our 59 campground owners.
The water lab processed 33 nitrate samples and 25 bacteria samples for homeowners, supporting safe
private drinking water throughout the county. Our water lab has been so busy this year, and the
community is continuing to show interest in groundwater and water testing. For example, last May,
Page 24 of 88

December 18, 2025 we only had eight homeowners bring us a nitrate sample; that is over a 300 percent increase from last
year!
Bre presented the groundwater model that the department was awarded at the Bloomer Senior
Center to a group who were interested in water quality.
The water lab completed seven sanitary surveys by doing an inspection of
the entire water system and the distribution lines for the DNR TNC
program. Seasonal facility sampling, which is primarily campgrounds, has
started, and the team collected 47 bacteria samples and 35 nitrate
samples for our TNC program. About 50 percent of our seasonal facilities
remain to be sampled.
Beach sampling has begun! We have 11 beaches this year on the program
that agreed to weekly sampling and monitoring. We collect samples on
Wednesdays and get results the following Thursday. Our team sampled twice in the month of May
and has seen low algae and bacteria amounts. The water temperature across all beaches had a 10-15
degree jump with that super hot last week in May!
Nutrition Division
Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program
Management Evaluation (ME)
Every two years, WIC agencies go through a state management evaluation. This includes a desk, chart,
document, and fiscal review, as well as an all-day onsite clinic observation of staff by our Regional
Nutritionist, Sarah Nix. Our on-site observation is scheduled for October 6. WIC staff will be preparing
over the next several months for the 106 criteria that will be evaluated.
Outreach
Stephanie recently met with CESA 11 Head Start administration to share information about WIC
services and outreach opportunities. She also presented to the Marshfield Health Primary Care team
in June.
Farmers Market Programs
We started issuance of Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) checks and Farm Fresh Produce
Program vouchers June 1. We have partnered with UW Extension to again provide classes at the
market in June and July. Families can enjoy a story about eating fruits and veggies, receive their FMNP
checks and Farm Fresh vouchers to go shopping that day, and receive a goodie bag with the book
they read and kitchen utensils to get kids in the kitchen, which was funded in part by grant funding

Chippewa County.
Marshfield/Security Health Plan Food Insecurity Grant
Two hundred sets of $25 vouchers have been given to the four pantries that agreed to distribute
them. They include Bloomer/New Auburn food pantry, Stanley food pantry located at Our Savior’s
Lutheran Church, CDC Outreach office, and First Presbyterian Church food pantry, both located in
Chippewa Falls. These vouchers will be prioritized for those pantry patrons who do not have the
opportunity to receive WIC or senior FMNP checks. A listing of all FMNP and Farm Fresh Produce
vendors is available on our website: Farmers Market Nutrition Programs | Chippewa County, WI.

December 18, 2025 Planning and Strategy
IMPACT Council Launch Update
The department has officially launched the IMPACT Council, a cross‑divisional group that will guide
our performance management and quality improvement efforts. The Council provides ongoing
leadership and oversight to ensure PM and QI practices are embedded in daily operations and
project-based work. Its members include Leadership Team members and PM Champions
(representatives from each division) who help connect Council work with division‑level
implementation.
The IMPACT Council will support a culture of quality by reviewing PMQI activities quarterly,
monitoring progress toward Domain 9 reaccreditation requirements, and advancing key action steps
in the PMQI Plan. Through regular data review and staff engagement, the Council will help ensure our
improvement efforts remain aligned with strategic priorities and grounded in data-informed decision-
making.
Single Point of Entry: Centralized Support for Families of Children with Special Needs in
Chippewa County
The CRC-West serves as the Single Point of Entry for families in Chippewa County seeking support for
children with special needs. This means families can contact CRC-West as a central place to access a
variety of services without needing to reach out to multiple organizations. Under a contract with the
Department of Human Services, CRC-West connects families to programs like Birth to Three,
Children’s Comprehensive Community Services (CCS), and the Children’s Long-Term Support (CLTS)
Waiver and assists with functional screenings for these services.
In May, SPOE received 33 referrals (13 Birth to Three referrals, 20 CLTS/CCS) and completed 12
functional screens during the month. The average number of days from referral to eligibility remains
well below the state benchmark of 45 days.
The team is working on an updated dashboard that they plan to launch next month.

Children’s Resource Center (CRC) – West
CRC-West continued providing resource navigation, consultation, and support services to families and
professionals across western Wisconsin. Program referral and navigation calls remained steady
throughout the month. CRC-West also continued collaboration efforts with community partners and
professionals throughout the region to support coordinated care and improve access to resources for
families. During the first part of the year, CRC-West has seen an increase in professionals reaching out
for consultation, collaboration, and resource navigation support. In addition, the program anticipates
a slight increase in family calls and service navigation requests as schools begin wrapping up for the
summer months and families navigate changes in routines, supports, and services.
As CRC-West approaches mid-year, many planned mid-year benchmarks and goals are already being
met, placing the program in a strong position moving into the second half of the year. Staff continues
to actively plan and organize upcoming projects, outreach efforts, and grant deliverables to support
the successful completion of end-of-year goals.
A Chippewa County-specific highlight has been the continued use of Iron Will Endowment funds
through the Chippewa Community Foundation to support local families during extended hospital
stays. Through these funds, CRC-West was able to assist three different Chippewa County families by
providing gas cards and hospital support bags. These bags include practical and comfort items
intended to help support families through longer hospital stays and reduce some of the stress and
financial strain that can come with extended time away from home. All three families supported
through this effort reside in Chippewa County, allowing these local funds to directly support families
within the community who are navigating complex health care needs.

Division of Children and Families (DCF) and CYF PAC
• This June, DCF is changing the process for deciding how quickly Child Protective Services must
respond to a screened-in CPS report. The goal is to make the response time decision easier and
more consistent
across the state.
• The Bureau of Youth Services is rolling out Quality Case Planning (QCP) with youth justice (YJ) and
juveniles in need of protective services (JIPS) cases. Standards for this will roll out on June 22,
2026, with the eWiSACWIS changes occurring that same weekend. DSP staff will attend regional
supervisor and director meetings in upcoming months to discuss this phase of the initiative.
Division of Health Services (DHS)
• As of June 1, 2026, the 2025 Wisconsin Act 115 update to Wis. Stat. § 50.06 creates a new legal
decision-maker and an alternative route for admission to a Community Based Residential Facility
(CBRF) or nursing home from inpatient hospitalization. The new legal decision-maker – entitled
patient’s representative – may act in circumstances when a family member in a hospital is
incapacitated and lacks advanced directives or a legal decision-maker to access post-hospital
facility placement and health care decisions. The goal of this legislation is to help incapacitated
patients access post-hospital facility care faster, reduce unnecessary hospital stays, ease strain
on Wisconsin’s health care system, and include family involvement in decision making.
• Governor Tony Evers Interagency Council on Mental Health (ICMH) released its statewide
action plan outlining how state government can better support mental health in Wisconsin. The
plan includes actions state government can implement immediately to help improve
Wisconsinites’ mental health, as well as recommendations for additional support like funding,
staffing capacity, and legislative action.
Behavioral Health PAC
• No meeting. Next meeting is June 26th
Child Welfare PAC
• No meeting
Income Maintenance PAC
• Waiting on corrected contract amendment for quality assurance funding
• Creating a short-term work group to explore efficiencies when working with the state problem
resolution team, this is the ES Helpdesk. Hoping to be efficient statewide with sharing answers to
questions coming in regarding all upcoming policy changes.

Center for Medicaid Services (CMS) As required by law, on June 1, 2026, the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) issued an interim final rule implementing a new statutory requirement for
certain adults in Medicaid to meet an 80 hours per month work requirement (sometimes referred to as
Medicaid community engagement) as a condition of eligibility. States must generally implement this
requirement no later than January 1, 2027.
The work requirement applies to non-pregnant adults between the ages of 19 and 64 who are not entitled
to or enrolled in Medicare and are eligible for or enrolled in the Medicaid adult group or in certain section
1115 demonstrations that provide minimum essential coverage to adult beneficiaries.
Certain individuals are exempt from the requirement, including those who are pregnant or in a
postpartum period, disabled or medically frail, parents and caretakers of children under 14 years of age
or people with disabilities, American Indians and Alaska Natives, and certain others.
States may also elect to offer short-term hardship exceptions for individuals subject to the work
requirement under specific circumstances – for example, those receiving inpatient or certain other
medical services, individuals who need (or whose dependent needs) to travel outside their community
for certain medical care not available in their home community, those in a county with an unemployment
rate at or above 8% or 1.5 times the national average, and those who reside in a county where certain
national emergencies or disasters exist.
Under the rule, affected Medicaid applicants and enrollees (referred to as “applicable individuals”) will
be required to demonstrate 80 hours per month of qualifying activities, such as employment,
participation in certain work programs, or community service, or be enrolled in educational program at
least half time. Individuals may combine activities to meet the 80-hour requirement. or meet it by earning
at least 80 times the Federal hourly minimum wage ($580 per month in 2026); for seasonal workers,
there is a different calculation. Certain new Medicaid applicants will need to meet the requirement for at
least one month before the month in which the applicant applies, and existing Medicaid beneficiaries will
need to meet the requirement for one or more months between renewals.
States must verify compliance of applicable individuals at application, at renewal, and – at state option –
at more frequent periodic intervals. If a state cannot verify that an individual has met the requirement, it
must send a notice of noncompliance and provide the individual with 30 calendar days to demonstrate
compliance or that the requirement does not apply to them. If the individual fails to do so, their
application might be denied, or they might be disenrolled from Medicaid. Individuals who are disenrolled
may reapply at any time and will be assessed for compliance upon reapplication.

• In May 2026, no cases were closed.
• In May 2026, one child was reunified with his parents right before his first birthday.
• In May 2026, five children were removed from their parental home. A sibling group of four were
removed due to their mother’s substance use; the children were able to be placed with their
respective fathers. In addition, one child was removed from the hospital due to his mother and
father’s methamphetamine use.
• The unit is seeing an uprise in reports that are reaching the level of removal due to parental
substance use. Removing children is time-consuming and emotionally draining for both staff and
the families we work with.

• There is staff turnover in the unit. One Initial Assessment Worker left Chippewa County and
another Initial Assessment Worker will be transferring units. Forutnately, two staff members from
Comprehensive Community Services have expressed interest and will be filling these slots. This is
great for the unit as the external hiring process does not need to occur.
Children with Differing Abilities (CWDA)
• We have three different staff transitioning into other units/positions in July. These workers are
Autumn Metoxen (moving to YJ), Lexi Hollmann (moving to CPS), and Tara Reitan (moving to CPS).
We also had one employee, Nicole Vinson, leave employment with Chippewa County in May. One
of the CCS positions will be transitioning to a CLTS position. Mikala Talbot will be moving into one
of the vacant CCS positions in July. The other vacant CCS positions and the CLTS position will be
posted soon. With all the transitions, caseloads are getting high for workers.
Youth Justice (YJ)
• We are on track for the transition of Kerry Krista to move to her new position in MWR and to have
Amanda D’Jock move into the role of Juvenile Court Intake worker. These ladies will officially
assume their new roles as of July 7th, 2026. Autumn Metoxen will be moving from Children’s CCS
to ongoing YJ on July 20th, 2026. We will be welcoming Manda Young back from FMLA on July 8th,
2026. We look forward to getting our feet back on the ground during the summer months, which
are typically less busy than during the school year!
Economic Support (ES) Division
• Erin Blum to start 6/22, Economic Support will be fully staffed again.
Mental Wellness & Recovery (MWR) Division
Adult Protective Services (APS)
• Elder Abuse Awareness Day is June 15th! This is an opportunity to educate the community and
provide resources to increase awareness and where to go for assistance. Flyers are distributed
throughout the community.
o Example: Signs of Elder Abuse: Elder abuse is an intentional act or failure to act that
causes or creates a risk of harm to an older adult. Common types of elder mistreatment
include physical, sexual, emotional/psychological, or financial abuse, neglect or self-
neglect. Elder abuse impacts people of all ages, identities and backgrounds.
o FACTS: 1 in 10 community-dwelling older adults experience abuse every year.
1 in 2 older adults with cognitive impairment experiences abuse.
Community Support Program (CSP)
• There have been some discharges in 2026 for clients who are able to be served in the community.
There were 4/5 successful graduations with the CSP discharges. This allows for space for people
on the CSP wait list. CSP is actively working to move 7 people from the wait list to enrollment,
prioritizing the mental health needs of the individuals needing CSP .
Page 38 of 88

• Staffing remains stable in the CSP program which is positive for program participants.
Comprehensive Community Services (CCS)
• Service Facilitator Case Loads are full at this time; 7 consumers are ready to be assigned and
enrolled. The overflow is due to one staff on maternity leave and a new staff officially starting in
adult CCS on July 6
th. The current number of active referrals is 30. The clinician and lead worker
have an efficient system in managing referrals and assignments, so we are hopeful that numbers
will even out over the next few months.
• Referrals for adult CCS remain consistent with regular weekly referrals for people seeking
services. Despite a high number of referrals, the waiting list has been reduced since the end of
2025.
• The CCS team reported 3 successful graduations from the program during the past month.
• The 6
th Annual Collaboration, Recognition & Unity (CRU) Event is scheduled for June 16, 2026. The
CRU event is an opportunity for CCS service facilitators and contracted providers to collaborate
and connect outside the everyday CCS operations. Training is a key component for the day.
Crisis Program
• We’ve had an increase in complex cases this spring, and cases where emergency mental health
and adult protective services overlap, so there have been consultations with corporation counsel
on how to manage these cases statutorily.
• There were 123 crisis cases needing follow up in May 2026. Thus far in 2026 there have been 50
emergency detentions, 471 individual crisis response plans formulated, and 389 crisis contacts
resolved through least-restrictive interventions, follow-up, and community-based supports rather
than involuntary detention or placement.

Billing deadlines were met in the first quarter of 2026.
Mental Wellness & Recovery (MWR)
Objective Improve outcomes through data-driven decisions
Status Update
December 2025
Adult Protective Services (APS) tracks the amount of time to complete a screen-in
investigation (point of initial contact to point of supervisor signing off on report). This will
help in meeting compliance concerns with new APS standards.
Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) tracks the time consumer spends on waitlist
for services (point of functional screen completion to signing of admission paperwork). CCS
is not allowed to have a waitlist.
Community Support Program (CSP) tracks the percentage of consumers actively engaged in
wellness checks with health care providers. CSP consumers, on average, have shorter life
span of 15 years.
Emergency Mental Health Services (EMHS) is tracking number of uninsured consumers.
With pending loss of health care subsidies, the County may be at financial liability for cost
of mental health services.
Status Update
June 2026
APS has had conversations about the timeline to complete a screen-in investigation and
where we are currently at with investigations. Due to multiple intakes, guardianships and
investigations in 2026, staff completing the investigations have needed to do some catch up
work to get the reports all entered. We need to revisit an efficient method for tracking actual
time for investigations being completed and have this implemented by August 2026.
Program staff have attended APS Intake Modernization Project meetings.
CCS has a system in place to track the time a consumer spends on the waitlist for services,
and this data is readily available. The data tracking worksheet is reviewed and monitored
regularly by the CCS clinician and lead worker. Additional data tracked include: referral
follow-up, acuity levels, assigned service facilitators and program graduations.
CSP team consistently works with consumers to encourage having a primary care physician
and schedule wellness checks. CSP clinician has a plan to create a tracking method to
determine what percent of consumers in CSP are accomplishing this. Along with wellness
checks we want to track those consumers with metabolic syndrome and identify ways to
target this issue with consumers – in conjunction with the CSP nurse and psychiatric
provider and primary doctor.

2025-2027 DHS Strategic Plan
The crisis team identifies consumers without insurance and will work with them to get
assistance from hospital social workers, group home staff, or the ADRC to apply for MA.
Multiple data points are tracked by the crisis clinician, which include: number of crisis
contacts/linkage and follow-up; emergency detentions; commitments and settlement
agreements; and amount of time spent by crisis staff with consumers.

Objective Crosstrain all staff to complete initial intakes for Adult Protective Services (APS)
Status Update
December 2025
Training completed to MWR staff by August 2025. Due to inefficiencies, APS went back to
performing their own intakes starting in September. APS staff cannot meet the demands of
the aging population. Federal guidelines are being rolled out in 2026/27 that will place time
frames and other expectations on investigations. Mikala Talbot (CPS unit) has been aiding in
completing investigations. Her assistance is much appreciated.
Status Update
June 2026
Additional MWR staff have been trained in APS intakes, to cover when intake social worker
is out or on vacation. MWR staff assist when needed with APS cases and need. There is
also collaboration between crisis and APS services for specific services.

Health Services
PHAB 2022 Standards
& Measures
Core Competencies
The 10 EPHS were
developed to describe
the activities the public
health system should
undertake in all
communities.
They provide a
framework for public
health to protect and
promote the health of
all people in all
communities.
The FPHS were
developed to represent
a minimum package of
public health services to
make the case for
sustainable funding and
to set a foundation for
what is needed
everywhere for public
health to function
anywhere.
The Public Health
Accreditation Boards
(PHAB) Standards &
Measures were
developed as a tool to
improve the
performance and
quality of public health
departments.
The Core Competencies
for Public Health
Professionals (Core
Competencies) are a
consensus set of
foundational skills for
the broad practice of
public health, as defined

THE 10 ESSENTIAL
PUBLIC HEALTH
SERVICES
The 10 Essential Public Health Services provide
a framework for public health to protect and
promote the health of
all people in all
communities. To achieve equity, the Essential
Public Health Services actively promote
policies, systems, and overall community
conditions that enable optimal health for all
and seek to remove systemic and structural
barriers that have resulted in health inequities.
Such barriers include poverty, racism, gender
discrimination, ableism, and other forms of
oppression. Everyone should have a fair and
just opportunity to achieve optimal health and
well-being.

Foundational Public Health Services
The framework outlines
the unique responsibilities
of governmental public
health and defines a
minimum set of
foundational capabilities
and foundational areas
that must be available in
every community.
Public health programs, or Foundational
Areas, are basic public health, topic- specific
programs and services aimed at improving
the health of the community
They reflect the minimum level of service
that should be available in all communities
Foundational Public Health Services

Foundational Public Health Services
Public health infrastructure consists of
Foundational Capabilities that are the
cross-cutting skills and capacities needed to
support basic public health protections,
programs, and activities key to ensuring
community health, wellbeing and achieving
equitable outcomes
Like the foundation of a house, the
FPHS are a universal set of services
that should be available at all state and
local health departments.
They provide the strong foundation
needed to protect a community’s
health and help achieve equitable
health outcomes.
Just as every house needs to have
wiring and plumbing, all public health
departments should have the FPHS.
