To our LIHF families and community stakeholders: 
 
These are interesting times in our country and around the globe.  We are experiencing a global health emergency with the number of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) cases increasing and the methods to stem further spread impacting all our lives. 
 
The UW is first and foremost committed to taking all reasonable steps to ensure the health and safety of you, our partners and staff, and the public.  In that, the Chancellor has instituted a mandate - effective immediately - that all non- essential employees work remotely.  Following our leadership, the LIHF office will be instituting the following:
  • We recently announced Community Conversations in early April.  We will be rescheduling those for a later time.  Stay tuned for future updates.
  • Our inaugural Life Strategy Board meeting has been postponed.  Look to hear from us about those adjustments.
  • As our team will be working remotely, we will be accessible via email and our mobile phones, and will provide that information to those who reach out to us. However, you can always contact us via lihf.wisc.edu.
​The current health pandemic is continually evolving.  We will continue to monitor developments and disseminate additional information.  In the meantime, please pay attention to announcements from our health organizations and government, stay healthy, and keep your families safe. 
 
Gina Green-Harris, Director

    Lifecourse Initiative for Healthy Families Announces New Partnership

    Posted on August 12, 2019
    The Lifecourse Initiative for Healthy Families, with continued support from the Wisconsin Partnership Program at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH), is pleased to announce that it will continue and enhance its work in Southeastern Wisconsin to improve birth outcomes for African American families.
    ​
    The Lifecourse Initiative is expanding to include a new partnership with the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute (PHI). The Lifecourse Initiative is using a new grant totaling $970,000 from the Wisconsin Partnership Program to build the strategic initiative’s infrastructure, pilot community capacity-building strategies, and increase awareness of strategies to reduce black-white disparities in birth outcomes for African American women, with a priority area of chronic stress.

    The work will take place over the next 18 months. The Initiative continues to be led by Gina Green-Harris, MBA, director of the Lifecourse Initiative, and brings the new addition of Sheri Johnson, PhD, director of the PHI at the UW SMPH, who serves as the academic partner.
