Announcing Bay Bridge:
Bay Bridge is a new nonpartisan group recently founded in Whitefish Bay which works to build bridges within and between communities in support of racial & cultural diversity, equity, and justice. We bring together people of color and white allies in courageous, safe, and welcoming environments to advance equity in the arts, nutrition & food justice, education, employment, & other areas as identified. Our hope is to raise awareness of unconscious implicit bias - thereby disrupting the deleterious effects that unawareness can cause for everyone in a community, but especially for people of color.
Please bring a friend & join us for a Community Planning Session February 5, 2020 at the
Whitefish Bay Public Library from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Our meeting will be facilitated by Kellie J. Sigh, President of KJS Consulting.

North Shore Health Department:

Did you know? Governor Tony Evers proclaimed January 2020 as Cervical Health Awareness Month here in Wisconsin. NSHD is working with the Wisconsin Immunization and Wisconsin Well Woman programs to raise awareness of cancers, including cervical cancer, caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The best protection against HPV related cancers is vaccination for both boys and girls at ages 11-12 years. In 2016, about half of preteens and teens in Milwaukee County reported having received at least one HPV vaccine (in the series). Many teenagers remain unprotected against HPV related cancers because they never start or don’t finish the full series of vaccination. By remaining incompletely vaccinated, these adolescents remain vulnerable to cancers caused by HPV infections. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to talk to their child’s doctor or nurse at their next health care visit. If a preteen has not received all doses of the HPV vaccine, make an appointment to get him or her vaccinated today!
Click here for more info regarding the HPV vaccine.
Information about free local screening tests for cervical cancer is available at
Wisconsin Well Woman. Through this program, women aged 45-64 years may be eligible for services if they meet certain income and insurance guidelines. To learn more and see if you qualify, visit the website.
