The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is a state government agency in the government administration sector, based in Madison, Wisconsin. It is charged with protecting and promoting the health and safety of Wisconsin residents. The agency emphasizes focusing on the needs of the people it serves, fostering independence, addressing health disparities, valuing colleagues and recognizing excellence, encouraging innovation and critical thinking, collaborating with partners, and managing public resources responsibly. In December 2025, DHS, in collaboration with the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene, launched two public dashboards to help residents understand respiratory illness trends across the state. These dashboards illustrate the department's commitment to transparency and to providing public health insights through partnerships with other agencies.
