  • Wisconsin Health Improvement Collaborative – a casual, collaborative, monthly convening of individuals in local health departments working on performance management, strategic planning, quality improvement, workforce development and accreditation. The collaborative’s goals include: providing a space for shared learning about these topics and how folks are taking action in their various workplaces, fostering statewide collaboration and share resources, and where possible, aligning efforts to benefit multiple participants. Meetings are the last Friday of the month from 9 – 10 a.m., virtually. There is also a listserv to ask questions of and share resources with individuals in the collaborative.
