LETTING OUR LIGHT SHINE
in the tri-states
|
|
|
Each month we will include a feature article spotlighting a project, program, activity, or meeting that provides significant support to the tri-state development region. This is the section to click on if you’re looking for inspiration, dedication, or optimization. These are celebration stories! We won’t mind if you play a little background music while you read, perhaps the opening bars to the “Rocky” theme or maybe a little “Wind Beneath My Wings”? Whatever your jam, we want you to feel encouraged, motivated, and proud of how you and other regional stakeholders are making a difference. |

SPOTLIGHT ON REGIONAL HEALTH |
This month, in celebration of National Rural Health Day, we are highlighting the work of the Tri-State Development Regional Health & Wellbeing Task Force. There has been a fair amount of headline generating news recently as hospital systems across the nation are operating in a highly competitive and stressful environment. Our regional systems are not immune and if you’ve been paying attention, you’ve probably heard a thing or two. But get a load of this…

RESOURCES FOR TRI-STATE PARTNERS
We've been hard at work to identify resources that will help support the work that you are doing in your community. We have purchased access to a data aggregator package that will allow us to pull together statistical data for our tri-state region.
This aggregator will provide data at the census tract, zip code, county, and state levels. Up-to-date data can inform grant applications, marketing narratives, publications, and more. We will be using it to share insights into our region. Please let us know how we can help you. Data requests can be submitted to LSieck@culver.edu.
