Wisconsin Discusses: Wisconsin’s SHA/SHIP as a Lever of Narrative Change
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services Office of Policy and Practice Alignment (OPPA) team will discuss how Wisconsin’s State Health Assessment (SHA) and State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP) drive narrative change.
Health inequities across many health outcomes in Wisconsin exist and are documented in the literature and in Division of Public Health data.
We believe that if:
- Narrative shifts and public discourse are reframed to focus on the conditions that truly create health;
- We work across sectors and address the whole system in which people live;
- Partners align, and community power is harvested to advance health and well-being improvement;
- We address the policies, systems, and environments that impact the lives of Wisconsinites;
ALL people in Wisconsin will have the opportunities and supports they need to reach their full potential.
