Mission

To facilitate this, we mobilize our community's caring power and advance our community's Agenda for Change, six goals focused on three priority areas of Education, Income and Health - the building blocks of a stable life and thriving community. By targeting specific goals and forging partnerships, United Way is tackling the root causes of critical local issues and achieving real, measurable results in education, financial stability, housing, health and more.
About
Healthy for Life goal: "Health issues are identified and treated early." We have three main strategies in this area: (1) providing access to behavioral health services, with a focus on addressing trauma and scio-emotional learning, (2) reduce racial and socioeconomic health disparities, and (3) providing school-based delivery of preventative oral health care services. Connecting people who have low incomes and are uninsured with health care and dental homes is a primary strategy and proven best practice. Health care homes provide a regular source of care that focuses on preventive care, managing chronic illnesses and reducing the need for hospitalizations or emergency visits. A top priority in this area is our work to identify and treat behavioral and mental health issues that keep children and youth connected to school, families and the community and on-track for graduation. During the 2017-2018 school year 2,937 sixth graders were screened for behavioral health issues and 267 were referred and treated. In addition, more than 3,000 students received mental health support and treatment through partnerships with Agrace, Canopy Center, Catholic Charities, Children's Hospital - Community Services Division (Children's Service Society of WI), East Madison Community Center, Family Services Madison, and Hancock Center for Dance/Movement Therapy. In 2018, 3,178 elementary school students received sealants and preventive oral health care through the Celebrate Smiles program. United Way of Dane County's HealthConnect premium assistance program managed total payments of over $1.4 million that enabled over 1,020 low-income individuals (with household income of 100-150% of FPL) to be insured by paying their 2018 premiums for plans purchased through the Health Insurance Marketplace. We partner with multiple health agencies including Access Community Health Centers, Triangle Community Ministry, AIDS Resource Center of WI, American Heart Association, and Community Health Charities.
