From September 2022 – March 2023, Healthy Living with Diabetes Program Provider organizations who hold a 7^th session with information on Diabetes Self-Management Education & Support (DSMES) will be entered into a drawing to WIN a free leader training voucher for the 2023 calendar year!

Join the Falls Free WI Coalition!

The Falls Free Wisconsin Coalition is an alliance of individuals and organizations working together to prevent falls in Wisconsin. There's much to do and it will take a large, diverse, energetic coalition of individuals and organizations to make a population-level impact. That's why we need you! We invite local falls or injury prevention coalitions, community-based organizations, senior service providers, public safety and emergency services groups, health care providers and others in Wisconsin to join us.

If you weren't able to join us for January Office Hours, you can catch up by checking out the recording below.

This month we heard from Wisconsin DHS epidemiologist Lena Swander who discussed data on health behaviors in Wisconsin as related to diabetes. We also provided an update on WIHA's Falls Free Wisconsin Center development and met some of the Localizing Efforts to Address Falls (LEAF) grantees.



As always, if you have questions, please contact us.
