Healthy Wisconsin Leadership Institute Update
TOPIC OVERVIEW • What is the Healthy Wisconsin Leadership Institute? • What is the HWLI Community Teams Program? • What was the focus of Healthier Together’s application? • Who is on the Healthier Together team? • How does this relate to Healthier Together’s work? 8
Healthy Wisconsin Leadership Institute • Created in 2005 by the UW-School of Medicine and Public Health and the Medical College of Wisconsin. • “To strengthen leadership capacity for creating partnerships, policy, and system changes that ensure every Wisconsin community reaches its full health potential.” • Provide “systematic and accessible public and community health leadership training, education and technical assistance to support local agendas for community health improvement.” 9
Community Teams Program • Year-long program that facilitates sustainable community partnerships through the development of collaborative leadership and public health skills among teams working on health improvement. • Selection for the program is done through a competitive application process. The focus for 2015-2016 was NW Wisconsin; five teams were selected to participate. 10
Healthier Together’s Team • When applying, our intention was “to further develop our work with local food shelves to implement environmental strategies to improve health.” 11
Healthier Together’s Team 12
So what? • Our objectives and action plan can be incorporated into the 2017-2019 CHNA plan re: obesity. • We hope the video we are producing will be helpful to many who are working on hunger and nutrition issues, to help raise awareness about food insecurity in our two-county region. http://www.hwli.org/video-stories 13
