Under the state government reorganization act, Chapter 75, Laws of 1967, the former State Board of Health (WIHV85-A531) became part of the new Department of Health and Social Services (WIHV85-A674) as its Division of Health. In 1997 the Department of Health and Social Services changed its name to the Department of Health and Family Services (WIHV01-A386), although initially the Division of Health's name remained the same. By 1999 its name had changed to the Division of Public Health within the Department of Health and Family Services.

The Division is responsible for protecting and promoting public health in Wisconsin and assuring that all state residents have access to adequate health services with reasonable costs. The Division provides planning, coordination and overall direction for health services and facilties throughout the state. Division activities include enforcing state and federal health regulations; promoting preventive health care programs; administering the state certificate of need and medical assistance programs; providing consultation, education and information on general and occupational health topics; and preparing and disseminating health statistics.
