and service areas incorporate the essential public health services. The NSHD has two

offices, in Brown Deer and Shorewood, and residents can utilize services at either location, as well as at routinely scheduled community-based clinics. The NSHD is advised by a Board of Health with representatives from each of the seven
communities in the North Shore, as well as a medical advisor who is on staff. The Village of Brown Deer serves as the fiscal and administrative agent for the NSHD.

The third week in September is Asthma Peak Week. Every year, this week in September sees the most asthma attacks in the country. This increase in asthma attacks is caused by people being exposed to more allergy and asthma triggers. Children go back to school and are exposed to dust and mold in school buildings. Also, September is the month that ragweed pollen is in full swing.

The Shorewood Village Board and the Whitefish Village Board are Meeting this week and next to discuss mandatory mask wearing inside. Our governor’s hand have been tied by the Supreme Court and our State legislators are not meeting again this year so we depend on our local governments, unfortunately to mandate mask wearing inside.
When are playgrounds going to be re-opened?
Are you still offering bike helmets for sale during the SAH orders? We could use a bigger helmet if there's a way to purchase without contact. Thanks!
If we test positive for COVid-19 or we strongly suspect that we are sick, is the NSHD tracking cases and is it expected that citizens alert your office?
Today’s post regarding Covid-19 stated that “Wisconsin has 155 confirmed cases of Covid-19, with 62 being in Milwaukee County and a sizable number of these from communities in the North Shore area.” Can we find out the breakdown by each city? This is valuable information we need to know.
