Our
Mission
Our
mission is to protect the health and safety
of the citizens living in the jurisdictions of the
member agencies by supporting and promoting the
professional development of individual and
organizational members in public health emergency
preparedness.
The
Western Region Partnership for Public Health
Preparedness was established to develop core
expertise and preparedness in response to bioterrorism,
infectious disease outbreaks, and other public health
threats. We do this through networking, coordinating,
standardizing, and centralizing our resources and
planning efforts among the twenty local public health
agency partners in Western Wisconsin.
