Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Wisconsin is the largest of more than 165 Goodwill organizations in the world and has been providing services since 1919. Some 6,100 Goodwill employees work in nearly 100 locations throughout our 23-county territory in southeastern Wisconsin and metropolitan Chicago. Our service territory consists of thirteen full or partial counties in southeastern Wisconsin, and ten full or partial counties in northeastern Illinois. Goodwill’s territory covers more than 12,000 square miles of land area, ranging from Green Lake, Fond du Lac, and Sheboygan counties on the north, to Danville, Illinois, on the south, and west to Janesville, Wisconsin. This territory encompasses some of the most populated areas of both states, including Cook, Du Page, Will and Lake counties in Illinois, and Milwaukee County in Wisconsin. Our mission is to provide training, employment and supportive services for people with disabilities or disadvantages who seek greater independence. Employment and training are Goodwill’s primary focus, assisting men and women to develop their job skills and secure work opportunities that fulfill their personal and professional goals. As the economy struggles, the need for our services continues to grow. Last year, Goodwill provided services to more than 72,000 men and women with disabilities and disadvantages. We employ more people with disabilities (25% of their workforce) than any private-sector business in the area.

We collectively create health or lack of health. Caregiver, service giver, policymaker and, most importantly, each one of us. Healthy individuals can create a healthy community. We are all in this together, creating, delivering and receiving care and services. Our CCO is a single organism, a community, an integrated collection of care and services that prevents illness and promotes and restores health in all its many meanings: physical, social, behavioral. Health Share is also a community of members who actively engage to the best of their abilities. Because without individual responsibility, there ultimately cannot be health. We know that it is better to prevent illness than treat it, better to stay on top of chronic conditions, better to provide people what they need to take care of themselves. In our community, members get the care they need, when they need it. What’s more, care goes into the community to serve them where they are. In our community, members receive the care they need regardless of race, ethnicity, social situation or literacy levels. Barriers are removed and doors are opened for the benefit of member health. In our community, care and services come from whatever source is most appropriate. We acknowledge, respect and include all providers of care and services. We count as partners any and all organizations that help our members, whether by contract or by mission. And that help extends far beyond the provision of care, to the basic needs that all people have and are entitled to: education, housing, employment, safety and more. Our mission is to develop an integrated community health system that achieves better care, better health and lower costs for the Medicaid population and the Tri-County community.
