Our Mission

Health is not something that begins in a doctor's office but instead starts in our homes, schools, workplaces and in our playgrounds and parks. It's in the air we breathe and the water we drink. Viewing health in this way, offers a unique and effective opportunity to improve health before the onset of disease.

At Health First Wisconsin, we believe health should not be determined by a zip code. We strive to ensure everyone has the opportunity to make the choices that allow them to live a long, healthy life regardless of their level of income, education or ethnicity.

Join us as we work toward a healthier Wisconsin!

Help Health First Wisconsin

Wisconsin has made great progress in public health recently, but there's still a long road ahead of us.

Addiction is a complex challenge that affects every aspect of a person’s life, from physical health to emotional well-being. Centers specializing in addiction treatment play a critical role in helping individuals navigate this journey, offering structured programs and professional guidance that can make long-term recovery possible. By providing a safe, supportive environment, these centers allow individuals to focus on healing and building the skills needed to maintain lasting change.

The presence of trusted recovery centers in communities is essential, as they offer a lifeline for those seeking help and guidance. By fostering a culture of understanding and support, centers like Mile High Recovery in Denver not only aid individuals struggling with addiction but also contribute to healthier families and stronger communities. Access to professional, compassionate care makes the journey toward lasting recovery both achievable and sustainable.
