What is the Healthier Wisconsin Partnership Program?
The Healthier Wisconsin Partnership Program administers a portion of the Medical College of Wisconsin Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Endowment through annual requests for proposals. The program funds community-based, community-academic partnership projects that address health prevention and promotion. The program operates with a staff of seven and is housed in the Curative Care Network building on the MCW campus.
The Healthier Wisconsin Partnership Program (HWPP) is a part of MCW’s Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin (AHW) endowment. The endowment is administrated in accordance with the Insurance Commissioner’s Order as well as the Grant Agreement with Wisconsin United for Health Foundation, and the distribution of funds is guided by a Five-Year Plan. HWPP supports community-MCW partnerships that address public and community health improvement through a competitive Request for Proposal process as well as MCW Consortium-directed non-competitive special initiatives.
