We Connect

For over 13 years, healthTIDE has been bridging information gaps between people and 
multi-sector partners and fostering participation in discussions to overcome the challenges of siloed work that often hinders organizational success and community progress. We have successfully connected hundreds of leaders and organizations to share knowledge, linking them to resources, funding, training, and technical assistance. All this effort is designed to create a ripple effect of positive change across Wisconsin.

We Convene

At healthTIDE, we recognize the power of convening in driving systemic change. By hosting and facilitating strategic convenings, we bring people and organizations together to strengthen relationships, align goals, and unlock shared resources and funding—ensuring collaborative efforts lead to greater impact.

We Contribute to Equity

In 2019, healthTIDE completed an assessment that highlighted the need to prioritize communities most affected by health disparities.

 

Recognizing imbalances in power unjustly create and sustain these inequities, we are committed to intentionally fostering connections, strengthening relationships, and supporting capacity building within and across communities, partners, and organizations. Our approach is geared toward strategic systems change that can positively transform nutrition, physical activity, and health outcomes across Wisconsin.

We Center Community Engagement

Efforts aimed to transform communities must be driven by those communities. Over the past four years, healthTIDE has focused on understanding Community Needs and solutions through an intergenerational, bilingual, multicultural, and community-led approach. Our commitment is to increase capacity and strategic thinking at the grassroots level, supporting the (re) creation of decision-making spaces that enable community leaders to take the lead in partnership with organizations and institutions.

We Champion Collective Action

healthTIDE brings together people and organizations to drive collective action to create meaningful policy, systems, and environmental change. Wisconsin’s communities are constantly evolving, making it essential to identify actions and build momentum for transformational and multi-sector change. Through strategic connections, convenings, and community engagement, we foster shared agenda-building to identify key goals and collaborative actions that community leaders and organizations can work toward together. We prioritize strategies with the greatest potential for impact, adapt to evolving community needs, and pursue intentional opportunities to innovate, track progress, and achieve more through cross-sector relationships.
