We now have a snapshot of the health and well-being of Milwaukee residents.

This new report finds that violence, drug abuse and housing all play a role in whether we can live healthy lives. Ali Tahler-Reed and Dominique Hyatt-Oates of the health department join WUWM’s Katherine Kokal to look at what’s in the report and how it’ll be used.
