Gov. Evers Makes Critical Investments in Health Care Coverage and Access

Today, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) highlights critical portions of Gov. Evers' 2025-27 DHS budget proposal, which was introduced February 18, 2025.

"Building on his declaration of 2025 as the Year of the Kid, Governor Evers' budget supports health kids, families, and communities across the state," said DHS Secretary Kirsten Johnson. "This budget makes critical investments in public health, health care access and coverage, mental health, and long-term care, prioritizing the health and well-being of every Wisconsinite."

Some of the highlights include:

*Protecting public health*

Public health activities lay the groundwork for healthy communities. They protect us from diseases and injury we cannot prevent alone and help us change behaviors harmful to our health. Compared to the rest of the nation, Wisconsin has been significantly underfunding its public health efforts for years. In the face of emerging and long-standing health challenges, Gov. Evers' budget makes transformational investments into our public health system.
