The purpose of this meeting is to conduct the governmental business outlined in the above agenda. In Executive Order 17, Governor Evers exercised his authority under Wis. Stat. § 14.019 to create the Health Equity Council (“the Council”), to be comprised of individuals appointed by the Governor and staffed by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. The purpose of the Council is to identify key benchmarks to address health disparities in Wisconsin based on race, economic status, education level, history of incarceration, and geographic location. Executive Order 17 further directed the Council to develop a plan, supported by a body of research and based on the afore-mentioned benchmarks, to reduce and eliminate health disparities throughout Wisconsin by 2030. The Governor further empowered the Council to create any necessary subcommittees to achieve its mission.
