Standards of Excellence - Other State Examples

​In June 2017, WAFCC Completed our Healthier Wisconsin Partnership Program's (HWPP) Change Incubator project to develop the Standards of Excellence. Our engaged Standards Committee and Advisory Panel helped launch the Standards of Excellence at our Uninsured Summit. In July, WAFCC was awarded $399,278 as part of the HWPP Responsiveness Component to implement the Standards over the next 3 years.  The Standards project is funded in part by the Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Endowment at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
