Welcome to
Healthier Together
Healthier Together – Pierce & St. Croix Counties is a community coalition working to create and maintain healthy communities.
Healthier Together initiatives focus on bringing people together from across the county to identify and address a variety of health priorities using a strategic framework.
Supporting mental, social, and emotional health and creating thriving, livable communities for all
The mental, social, and emotional health (MSE) of Pierce and St. Croix residents and creating livable communities for all (TLC) were identified as the two top health priorities for 2023-2025. A comprehensive implementation plan has been developed to address these needs while building partnerships and highlighting existing community resources.
Each of us can play an important role in community health improvement whether in our homes, schools, workplaces, churches, or in our communities.
More than 200 partners from over 60 organizations support Healthier Together. We encourage you to get involved, because together we can transform our community into a place where healthy choices are easier!
