Kenosha County announces new brand, logo, vision and mission for public health services

Feb 26th, 2021

Comments are off for this post

The Kenosha County Division of Health is going to be known by a new name.

From a new release from the county:

The Kenosha County Division of Health is rebranding itself as Kenosha County Public Health, debuting a new logo, mission and vision, Health Officer Dr. Jen Freiheit announced today (Thursday).
Freiheit said the name “Kenosha County Public Health” aims to more clearly and succinctly state the purpose of the operation, which provides a wide range of public health services for the community.
“While our formal name was and will continue to be the Kenosha County Division of Health, many know us simply as ‘the Health Department,’ and many others may not even be aware that we exist and we are here to serve them,” Freiheit said. “It’s our hope that by making ourselves known as Kenosha County Public Health, our residents will come to better understand the many ways we are here to help build and sustain a healthy community.”
Along with the new name comes a new logo — an interwoven letter K, representing the multitude of programs, partners and health services that make up Kenosha County Public Health and reflect its mission to inspire the health and wellness of everyone in our diverse community, Freiheit said.
Kenosha County Public Health staff and county administration have also worked together to adopt a new vision statement: “An Equitable, Engaged and Healthy Future.”
The mission statement that accompanies this vision is: “To inspire health and wellness in Kenosha County through service and leadership.”
Freiheit said the upcoming one-year anniversary of the start of the local response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing effort now to vaccinate the community provide a fitting backdrop for the rebranding.
“Over this past year, for better or worse, public health garnered much more of the public’s attention than usual, and we have been and will continue to be here to help guide the community through the pandemic,” Freiheit said. “At the same time, there are over 60 programs and services that we are continuing to provide — from home visiting nurse programs for new moms, to overdose prevention, to restaurant inspections, and STI clinics.
“We want people to know that Kenosha County Public Health is the place to turn for many services and programs and that we are here for you, the public.”
Kenosha County Public Health worked with 2-Story, a Wisconsin-based advertising, marketing and design firm, to develop the new branding. Changes to signage, letterhead, the Public Health Website and social media will be rolled out in the coming weeks and months.

Spring election 2021: Video presentation on Central High School District of Westosha referendum

Feb 25th, 2021

Comments are off for this post

*Central High School graphic (click image for larger view)*

Voters in the Central High School District of Westosha will be able to vote on a referendum on April 6.

The district is seeking approval to spend up to $39.6 million to fund building improvements. This includes: Safety and security improvements, construction of additions for a cafeteria, gymnasium, locker rooms and classrooms; renovating and facility improvements, including modernizing classrooms and learning spaces, converting the existing cafeteria into an auditorium and the existing locker rooms into a weight room/fitness center; building systems and infrastructure updates; site improvements; and acquisition of furnishing, fixtures and equipment.

Tax impact is estimated to be an additional 59 cents/$1,000 of assessed value over the current tax rate. That would result in an annual cost of $118 to property owners of a $200,000 home in the district.

On Monday, the district hosted a public information meeting on the referendum issue. Here is video of the presentation, lead by district administrator John Gendron, and some questions and answers afterwards:

The district has another public informational meeting scheduled for 6:30 p.m., March 11 at the school cafeteria. That meeting also will be available as a live stream (click here at time of meeting to view stream).
