In 2023, the Eau Claire City-County Health Department was awarded an 18-month Advancing Equity in Maternal and Child Health grant through the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Division of Public Health. The grant was a partnership effort between Eau Claire County youth serving agencies including:

• Boys & Girls Clubs of the Greater Chippewa Valley
• City of Eau Claire
• Eau Claire Area School District
• Eau Claire City-County Health Department
• Eau Claire County Department of Human Services
• United Way of the Greater Chippewa Valley

The goal of this grant was to 1) develop a comprehensive understanding of available local data that focuses on child health equity issues, 2) assess data, 3) implement an organizational or system-level change based on data, and 4) use this learning to consider sustainable ways to continue to improve child health equity outcomes in Eau Claire County.
