Wisconsin is getting a million dollars to help Central Wisconsinites better understand health issues.
The Department of Natural Resources says the money will go toward programs that help people better understand water quality, fish consumption, and other related health issues. Urban and rural communities in Marathon, Clark, Taylor, Lincoln, Langlade, Shawano, Portage, and Wood counties will benefit. The DNR says residents in Tribal, Hmong and Hispanic communities in the area can be disproportionally affected by these issues. Education projects will go on until 2027.
