Health Improvement Model

The Healthier Wisconsin Partnership Program is founded on a Health Improvement Model* that includes four interrelated approaches to improving the health of Wisconsin residents. Using the model, projects to improve health can emphasize any one of the four approaches as a starting point, with the requirement that projects also incorporate the other components into the project design.
