Healthy Kids Collaborative

11/14/2023

Over the last 11 years, the Healthy Kids Collaborative has convened our community’s leading advocates and change makers – you! – to address critical issues like childhood obesity, nutrition, and behavioral health. As the needs of our youth continue to evolve, so, too, does our work.

That is why this work at UW Health is transitioning to be a specific pillar of the Community Health Improvement team under UW Health’s Population Health department. While we will not be using the Healthy Kids Collaborative brand moving forward, UW Health’s commitment to these priorities does not waver. and we look forward to continuing our partnerships and collaboration.
