Science is a process. Researchers, medical providers, and policy makers all play a part in improving health through the scientific process. The REACH Program facilitates research studies across Wisconsin, growing from work initiated by the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (SHOW).  Each study builds on our collective knowledge of what factors make people and communities healthy.

The REACH Program focuses on environmental health – how our daily surroundings impact our well-being. For example, the air we breathe, food we eat, water we drink, and the hazards we face on the job, all impact our overall health. Findings from REACH studies help to connect the dots between our environmental surroundings and our health.
