Milwaukee Health Care Partnership
Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare is a member of the Milwaukee Health Care Partnership, a
public / private consortium dedicated to improving care for underserved populations in
Milwaukee County. Through the Partnership, five health systems aligned resources for the
funding and design of a community health needs assessment (CHNA) in 2015; conducted in
collaboration with the Milwaukee, Waukesha and Racine Health Departments as well as
other municipal health departments. Supported by analysis from the Center for Urban
Population Health, the Waukesha County CHNA Report includes findings from a community
health survey of 400 adults, significant key informant interviews and a secondary data
report. This shared CHNA serves as the foundation for Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare’s
implementation strategy to improve health outcomes and reduce disparities in Waukesha
County.

Waukesha County Communities served by Embrook Memorial
Description of our community:
Wheaton Franciscan- Elmbrook Memorial is located in Waukesha County. According to the
most recent estimate by the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of Wisconsin 2015 was
5,771,357. Waukesha County alone stands at a population of 392,511. The top five ZIP
codes in the community served by WF- Elmbrook Memorial are 53045, 53005, 53151,
53072, and 53186. Based on the population served by WF- Elmbrook, Wheaton defined its
community based off of the population of patients the facility sees, input from key
informants and socioeconomic status of the surrounding communities. Our hospital site
views our community as extremely diverse taking into account not only internal patient
demographic data, but outside demographics of the areas we serve. Most of the population
of Waukesha County are between the ages of 25 and 54-years-old and have at least a high
school degree.

The following demographic categories were listed as the most predominant groups residing
in the population that WF- Elmbrook serves:
Parks and Rec
Achieved the dream of home ownership by living within means and buying an affordable
older home in a well-established neighborhood. They are practical suburbanites who are
two-income, married couples approaching retirement age; however, still working because
they are comfortable in their jobs and homes with no plans to retire soon. Stocking up on
staples at warehouse stores and thoroughly researching big-ticket items before purchase
confirm consumer caution. This also extends to vehicles; price and practicality are primary
considerations before selecting a domestic truck or SUV. Exercising is part of routine; they
take advantage of local parks, gyms, and home equipment. Movies, dinner out, and gambling
online or at casinos fill leisure hours.
In Style
Professional couples or singles with strong work ethics and no kids. They embrace urbane
lifestyles that support the arts, travel, and extensive reading. To reflect style, they focus on
home maintenance and improvement; will undertake remodeling projects or hire
contractors. Always connected, they carry smartphones and use many of the features.
Healthy investment income boosts wages and net worth. Well-invested and well-insured,
they are already preparing for retirement. When shopping, they check for the best prices
and redeem both regular and mobile coupons for even better deals.
Green Acres
They're older, self-reliant, married couples who are still working, but edging toward
retirement. Most of them have no children living at home. They earn income from
wages and salaries, investments, and increasingly, Social Security benefits. Country
life is for them, so you'll find them in the rural pockets of urban areas, living in older
13
WHEATON FRANCISCAN – ELMBROOK MEMORIAL CAMPUS
COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT
single-family homes with acreage. Because their homes are older, they handle
maintenance and remodeling projects themselves, and own the proper tools to
accomplish the tasks. Vegetable gardening is a priority. They're active in the
community and are members of fraternal organizations and veterans' clubs. Even
though they're pessimistic about the economy, they're not afraid of carrying some
debt, such as home and car loans. They spend cautiously, focusing on quality and
durability. Technology isn't important; even though they shop and bank online, the
Internet is primarily for entertainment.
Old and Newcomers
Their neighborhoods are in transition: most of them are singles on a budget and
renting because they're either beginning our careers or retiring. The differences in
their ages somewhat dictates their tastes: the younger residents are comfortable
with technology, may still be in college, or would support environmental causes.
Older residents may take adult education classes or prefer to keep their landline.
They focus on convenience and economy. They're just as likely to bank online as in
person. Some will go online to play games and visit dating sites; other entertainment
includes watching movies at home, listening to country music, and reading
newspapers. Food tends to be convenient, frozen meals and fast food.
Savvy Suburbanites
They're empty nesters or empty-nester wannabes who still have adult children
living at home in established, owner occupied suburban neighborhoods. They're
well-educated, well-read, and well-capitalized. They research products prior to
purchase, and seek quality instead of price. Technology is used for everything
including communicating, shopping, banking, and staying current on the news. Even
though they're financially secure, they use a variety of resources for informed
investing. They're not afraid of debt and may carry first and second mortgages and a
line of credit. Late-model SUVs, station wagons, and minivans may be in their
driveways. They're foodies and enjoy cooking; natural or organic products are
preferred. They exercise, and buy top-of-the-line gear for golf and skiing. Good food
and wine and cultural events are also not to be missed.
Professional Pride
They're well-educated, two income, goal-oriented professionals who prospered
during the Great Recession. To support their upscale suburban lifestyle, both
parents work, tolerating long hours and long commutes. Their schedules are
complicated, balancing work and activities for their school-aged kids. Because
they’re all so busy, organization is critical to daily life. To save time, they contract for
home maintenance services such as housekeeping and professional cleaners.
They’re experts on all of our devices. Financially savvy, they continue to invest
wisely and grow our portfolios. Interest payments and dividends boost household
income. The comforts of home are priorities; they're proud of our picture-perfect
14
WHEATON FRANCISCAN – ELMBROOK MEMORIAL CAMPUS
COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT
homes, constantly upgrading, and will spend time and money on projects. Everyone
in the family reads on tablets, e-readers, or smartphones, but prefer hard copies of
epicurean, home, or sports magazines.
Comfortable Empty Nesters
You can find them in the suburbs and small towns of metro areas across the country.
Transitioning from child-rearing to retirement, those still working are earning a
comfortable living from jobs in government, health care, or manufacturing. Financial
well-being is a priority; they've invested prudently in stocks, real estate, mutual
funds, and CDs throughout the years. They attend to home maintenance issues and
physical exercise; play golf, ski, ride bikes, and work out regularly. Going online isn't
particularly important; they log on occasionally on older computers.
Golden Years
You'll find them in large metro areas outside major cities scattered across the US.
They're active, independent seniors who are either retired or nearing the end of our
careers. Those who are still working have professional jobs. Most of them are
singles or empty nesters. They're enjoying life: they stay busy with lots of interests
such as travel, sports, eating out, visiting museums, attending concerts, and focusing
on their physical fitness and good health. They go online for everything: banking,
shopping, checking investments, and entertainment. They donate generously to the
arts and other organizations. They read daily newspapers, particularly the Sunday
edition, when they have more time. They keep a landline and use cell phones only as
a convenience. TV is for news, sports, and on-demand movies
Exurbanites
Married couples who are empty nesters or who have no children, they're
approaching retirement, but not slowing down. They're sociable and hard-working.
Even though they live farther out from large metros, their lifestyle is cultural and
urbane; they support the arts and public radio/TV. They rely on advice from our
financial planners, and hold a wide range of investments in their healthy portfolios.
They still carry mortgages on their large and valuable single-family homes.
Gardening and home improvement projects are priorities; however, they'll also hire
home care, maintenance, and personal care services. They go online for everything.
Quality instead of price governs their shopping choices.

2015 Community Health Needs
Assessment
Process and Methodology
16
WHEATON FRANCISCAN – ELMBROOK MEMORIAL CAMPUS
COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT
Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare partnered with the Milwaukee Health Care Partnership
(the Partnership) which includes Aurora Health Care, Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin,
Columbia St. Mary’s Health System, Froedtert Health and public health departments to
collaboratively conduct a community health needs assessment. Third-party organizations,
JKV Research, LLC and Center for Urban Population Health were contracted to help conduct
the assessment. The assessment consisted of 3 key processes in order to obtain data, a
telephone health survey, secondary data research and key informant interviews and focus
groups.
Health Telephone Survey
The first was a health survey which consisted of questions to the broader community
through a telephone interview. Through a third-party organization, JKV Research, LLC, a
telephone interview was conducted to a random sample of community members which
included the medically underserved, low-income and minority populations. A total of 400
telephone interviews were completed between February 2 and February 23, 2015 for
Waukesha County. The sampling strategy was a random digit dial landline sample of
telephone numbers and a cell phone sample. We recognize that gaps would include the
inability to reach respondents so 8 attempts were made to reach each interviewee.
Respondents were asked a series of questions developed by the Partnership in the following
categories:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

•
Overall health
Health care coverage

Health conditions in past 3 years
Physical health
Women’s health
Men’s health
Screenings
Cigarette use
Exposure to smoke
Mental health status
Personal safety
Alcohol use
Household problems
Children in household
Respondents were also asked to rate their top 3 of 8 health concerns. A more in depth
analysis of these findings will be discussed further in the report. Respondents were asked to
rate the top community health issues out of eight listed.

WHEATON FRANCISCAN – ELMBROOK MEMORIAL CAMPUS
COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT
Those top concerns for Waukesha County are as follows:
 Chronic Diseases
 Alcohol or Drug Use
 Violence

Secondary Data Research
The second piece of the assessment was secondary data research. In collaboration with the
Milwaukee Health Care Partnership, Wheaton Franciscan- Elmbrook Memorial enlisted the
Center for Urban Population Health to develop a report highlighting demographics, socioeconomic status and other key learnings. Information from the 2014 U.S. Census Bureau,
County Health Rankings and Healthy People 2020 were a few of the reliable resources
contributing to the report. The secondary data report was specifically developed to
compliment the telephone survey for Waukesha County. Because of their complimentary
nature, the secondary data report is not all inclusive. All of the data used in the report came
from publicly available data sources.
Below is a table which summarizes the Waukesha County Health Rankings. Waukesha
County clearly ranks higher than both Wisconsin and National benchmarks in many
categories. Key takeaways from the 2015 County Health Rankings for Waukesha County
that were key drivers of the Wheaton Franciscan- Elmbrook Implementation Plan were the
population’s health was fair or poor at 10% compared to the top U.S. performers at 10%;
poor physical days at 3.1 compared to U.S. top performers of 2.5;and obesity remaining at
27% compared to top U.S. performers at 25%.

Key Informant Interviews
The third piece of the assessment process was conducting interviews and focus groups with
key stakeholders in the community in the spring and summer of 2015. This process was
primarily important to add input from those organizations that represent the broader
interests of the community as well as provide public health input. Wheaton Franciscan
Healthcare collaborated with ProHealth Care and the Waukesha County health department
to conduct these interviews and focus groups. (A full list of participants can be found in
Appendix B)
A total of 50 key informants were interviewed and key themes that emerged from the
participants related to rising health concerns were poverty, race, chronic diseases, social
marketing, schools, health literacy and health insurance coverage and access to care.
When asked to rank their top 5 health related issues in the county the issues ranked most
consistently were:





Mental health
Alcohol and other drug use
Chronic disease
Access to health services
Physical Activity
Other unmet needs in the community that were identified were oral health, reproductive
and sexual health, healthy growth and development, communicable disease prevention,
tobacco use and exposure, and environmental and occupational health.

WHEATON FRANCISCAN – ELMBROOK MEMORIAL CAMPUS
COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT
During the 2013-2016 timeframe in which the 2013 Community Health Needs Assessment
and Implementation Plans were posted on our website, no submitted comments were
received directly to Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare from the general public regarding the
work. However, through the 3 years of implementation, several meetings and updates were
given to participating groups as well has key groups in the community on the progress of
our work in making an impact on the needs identified for each of our sites.
Below provides an analysis of the three-year change in data and the significance in how
impactful the work has been in a short amount of time. Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare has
been a key component in the support of various programs and services offered to make a
difference within our communities.
2012 Data vs. 2015 Data:
When comparing the overall health concerns identified by the telephone survey
respondents, Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare found that the top three concerns remained
the same during the analysis. Those top concerns for Waukesha County are as follows:
Waukesha County:
Health Concern
Chronic Disease
Alcohol or Drug Use
Mental Health or
Depression
2012

COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT
Evaluation of Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare 2013
Implementation Plan
At the time of publishing this report, evaluations were made on the timeframe of July 1,
2013 through December 31, 2015.
In 2013, Wheaton Franciscan- Elmbrook Memorial carefully evaluated the data that was
collected and focused on health needs that would be greatly benefited by the resources
available. Those key health needs were:
 Access to Care
 Promoting a Healthy Lifestyle with a focus on:
o Obesity
o High Blood Pressure
o Diabetes
Over the three years that this plan was in place for the community surrounding Elmbrook’s
Campus, several strategies were used to help impact the community. Specifically for access
to care, strategies included assisting 2532 new patients obtain coverage through WI
Medicaid or financial assistance through the WFH Community Care/Charity program and
making outreach to the self-pay patient population to help with questions they may have around
Marketplace enrollment.
Another goal that Wheaton Franciscan- Elmbrook Campus focused on was a healthy
lifestyle, specifically focusing on obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. Since 2013,
Elmbrook Memorial Campus has taken several steps to help impact the community in a
positive way when it comes to the healthy lifestyle of the communities we serve. Some of
those initiatives were offering pre-diabetes classes to help educate the community on ways
to reduce the risk for developing Type II diabetes, continuing to offer the Walk with a
Wheaton Doc year round, holding National Nutrition Month activities, holding the ReNew
You Program and educating school age children about the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
After a thorough evaluation of the impact that Elmbrook Campus made in the community,
we found that there were negative trends in the Waukesha County data as received by the
community health telephone surveys:
Implementation Plan
Health Concern
Access (Unmet care)
Overweight

Diabetes
2012
2015
4%
65%
26%

This data only confirmed the importance of continuing our efforts in meeting these health
needs. While we do believe that our support in these community wide efforts have made a
positive impact on these needs, we still feel that continued focus will only help positively
change the health outcomes moving forward. After careful consideration and the reality of
a negative trend in the survey results for the above needs, Elmbrook will continue to focus
24
WHEATON FRANCISCAN – ELMBROOK MEMORIAL CAMPUS
COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT
on efforts for the next three years in meeting these specific needs of the community as well
as support other efforts in a secondary capacity as needed.
Significant Needs Identified 2015:
Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare market presidents appointed key leaders in the
organization to analyze data that was gathered, determine resource availability of the
facility and identify the needs that would be addressed at this time. Several meaningful
meetings were held with sub-committees in each of the top areas identified prior to setting
the priority needs to address in our initial plan.
Through our assessment and review of all of the findings from the research, our summary of
the top community needs are:









Access to care
Coverage
Alcohol and drug use
Injury and violence
Chronic Disease
High blood pressure
Infant mortality
Nutrition and obesity
Mental and behavioral health
Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare has assessed the resources available at the WF- Elmbrook
facility when choosing the following priorities to address at this time. Please see the full
2016 Implementation Plan for ways in which we are addressing the following needs:
 Access to Care
 Promoting a Healthy Lifestyle with a focus on Obesity, High Blood Pressure
and Diabetes
While our organization understands the importance of meeting all of the needs of the
community, an in depth assessment was completed in which the key leaders involved with
work within the Elmbrook facility were able to identify the needs that would be most
impacted by the site. The top health needs identified by the Elmbrook leadership team
through the community health needs assessment that were not a part of the current
implementation plan were as follows:
 Coverage: Wheaton Franciscan- Elmbrook Memorial feels that this significant need
is outside of our scope of services. We are committed to focusing efforts on
providing access to care to those within our community regardless of their
coverage. We will continue to support other initiatives regarding this need in a
secondary capacity when necessary.
 Alcohol and Drug Use: While Wheaton Franciscan- Elmbrook Memorial
understands this growing concern, at the time of assessment, the resources and
expertise were not available to address and make a meaningful impact on alcohol
25
WHEATON FRANCISCAN – ELMBROOK MEMORIAL CAMPUS
COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT
and drug use. During the community health needs assessment process, the
Milwaukee Health Care Partnership was made aware of several existing strategies
through our key informants. Key informants indicated a number of organizations
across sectors are already addressing these issues by providing services, and
education is in place within the schools. Specific strategies named include needle
exchange and Sharps collection programs, public campaigns and media coverage of
the issues, prescription drug drop off locations, the Wisconsin Prescription Drug
Monitoring Program (PDMP), medication lock boxes sold at cost, the Community
Health Improvement Plan, and community capacity building. We are committed to
supporting these efforts in a secondary capacity as necessary.
 Injury and Violence: Wheaton Franciscan- Elmbrook Memorial feels that this
significant need is outside of our scope of services. During the community health
needs assessment process, the Milwaukee Health Care Partnership was made aware
of several existing strategies through our key informants. Existing strategies to
address injury prevention include home assessment, injury prevention programs for
seniors, newsletters, car seat checks and car safety programs, bicycle rodeos,
messages in school planners, promotion of helmet use, and pedestrian safety
messaging. Related to crime, validated risk assessment tools, addressing poverty,
community policing, the Community Justice Council, hotspotting, Project Ujima, the
Medical College of Wisconsin Injury Research Center, and the Milwaukee Peace
Summit were existing strategies named. Regarding family violence and child abuse,
Sojourner Family Peace Center’s programs; the Hmong American Women’s
Association’s programs, services, and support within the clan system; the Safe and
Sound Collaborative; family support services; implementing trauma informed care
principles; Denim Day and other awareness campaigns; and mindfulness programs
were named as existing strategies to address violence. Due to the lack of resources
and expertise within Wheaton Franciscan- Elmbrook Memorial in this area, we have
committed to supporting this need in a secondary capacity as necessary.
 Mental and Behavioral Health: While Wheaton Franciscan- Elmbrook Memorial
understands this growing concern, at the time of assessment, the resources and
expertise were not available to address and make a meaningful impact on Mental
and Behavioral Health. During the community health needs assessment process, the
Milwaukee Health Care Partnership was made aware of several existing strategies
through our key informants. Key informants named the following existing strategies
in the county to address mental health: inpatient and outpatient mental health
services; increased bullying awareness; housing first strategy; community
behavioral health redesign is underway; Milwaukee Center for Independence
programming that manages medication and re-integrates people with mental health
issues into the community, jobs, and housing; crisis intervention training for
employees; efforts within schools and school-community partnerships; mental and
behavioral health task forces; implementing trauma informed care; and more
mental health providers are being added in the community.
As noted above, the team leading the implementation process found that not only were
some of these needs being addressed through other aspects of the plan, but that they were
also being addressed by other programs within the community with more of an expertise on
the issues as well as a capacity of resources available to focus on those efforts. Wheaton
Franciscan- Elmbrook Memorial is committed to continue to support those other health
care components in a secondary capacity when necessary.
