Course Description:
What if the health of our communities was defined not just by levels of chronic disease or sickness, but by compassionate community care centered on a better quality of life for all?
Join us in exploring the intricate web of social determinants of health—elements like healthy housing, reliable transit, healthcare access, and clean air and water—that shape the well-being of populations. With climate change emerging as a defining challenge of our time, this event will delve into how environmental factors intertwine with these determinants, impacting population health on a scale never before seen. Diverse stories from across the Midwest will illustrate the real-life symptoms we’re already seeing in our work and the places we know and love.
Health workers, community-based organizations, and experts will gather to discuss innovative solutions that address these critical intersections, highlighting the urgent need for holistic approaches that integrate climate resilience into health strategies. Through thought-provoking panels, case studies, and collaborative sessions, attendees will gain insights into strategies that can grow Wisconsin’s rural and urban communities into healthier places for all.
Let’s reimagine how we care for one another. Bring your ideas to the evolving conversation on collective well-being. Connect to health professionals taking on-the-ground action today to shape a more equitable, thriving tomorrow.
