Our vision at the Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Endowment (AHW) is to make Wisconsin the healthiest state in the nation—a vision that can’t be achieved without maximizing the health of ALL Wisconsinites and developing programs, partnerships, and knowledge-sharing opportunities aimed at achieving health equity, which the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines as “the state in which everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest level of health."
A new page on our website, Improving Public Health in Wisconsin Through Collaboration, features a variety of resources and references on the latest data, developments, and updates in Wisconsin’s public health landscape. By collecting and sharing this information, we aim to support collaborative approaches to our most significant public health challenges and to improve the health of every person in our state.
The public health challenges we face in Wisconsin are not exclusive to our state, and AHW and other public health organizations must stay up to date on best practices in improving health and wellness in our communities. We list two important resources for national best practices in public health on our new page:
We also direct site visitors to learn more about the Region V Public Health Training Center, which offers training and other resources for the current and future public health workforce.
