Editor's Notes
KEY POINTS:
We want to note this important relationship between the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has challenged all of us to work together to build a culture of health, as defined here. The purpose of our session today is to share our County Health Rankings and Roadmaps model of population health – which illustrates that when striving for a culture of health – there is more to health than what happens in the doctors office. In fact the places where we live learn work and play all matter.
Our hope is that you leave with a sense of what contributes to a successful collaboration and practical tools and resources to support your work.
As you reflect on the collaborative work you have been involved with take a look at the photos above and select the one that resonates with you and complete the sentence working on a collaborative team to improve community health is like…
Now turn to someone at your table and introduce yourself
Share your name and organization. Briefly describe a collaboration that you want to focus on today. This could be one you are currently a part of or one that you’re about to be a part of. You’ll use this throughout the session. Then share the photo that resonated with you and why.
We will do this in pairs and then I invite a few of you to share with the large group.
KEY POINTS:
This image comes from Cambridge, MA. They had all of their community partners put their names a strip of fabric, then they weaved them together into a tapestry. It visually represents the power of collaboration to bring diverse partners together to create something new … Partnership – working with diverse partners from all walks of life – is one of the ways Cambridge is building a culture of health.
I had you open with a collaboration that you would like to focus on today. Keeping that in mind…. As we go through today I invite you to consider
How might you strengthen your collaboration to build a culture of health in your community?

Before we jump in, i want to get a sense of how familiar you are with these resource and how much you already use them.
I use the Rankings as tool
I use the Roadmaps to Health Action Center to help guide my work
I use the WWFH database
KEY POINTS:
We start with population based data from a variety of sources.
Then we use that data to rank the health of nearly every county in every state. We release the County Health Rankings each spring, which attracts a lot of media attention. Some of you may have read stories in your local media and visited our site to find out what the Rankings are or what you can do in your community.
Community leaders use the report to get the word out to their local media and others about the Rankings, using the report as a call to action.
This call to action is intended to help communities bring together people from a variety of sectors to look further at community’s needs.
Community members identify evidence informed policies and programs that can be implemented locally.
As a result, ultimately the health of the community improves.
The County Health Rankings are all about a CALL to ACTION
[CLICK] The horizontal portion of the logic model underpins the Rankings. The County Health Rankings show us where we live matters to our health. The Rankings motivate community leaders and citizens to work together in new and creative ways to build a culture of health.
[CLICK] The vertical portion of our logic model underpins the Roadmaps. The Roadmaps offer communities practical help to move from awareness to action.
Broad community engagement is the pivot point between the data and action. It is where we will focus the rest of our time together.

THINK: Individually reflect on a time that you were part of a successful community collaboration. What characteristics contributed to the success?
SHARE: At your table come up with a list of characteristics that contribute to success.
REPORT: Pick 2-3 characteristics to share with the large group.
Clearly you know what it takes….. I ask you to reflect on you’re collaboration… where are you doing really well and where you’re falling short. What area may you want to build on….
What about signs that things are going so well with your collaboration
What might you do to building on strengths and address gaps
Symptoms of problem?

KEY POINTS
From Working Together to Evaluating your efforts, the Action Center provides a variety of tools and guidance to assist communities in taking action.
The Roadmaps to Health Action Center is an online platform which provides practical help for communities working collectively to improve their health. It provides guidance and tools to understand the data and strategies that communities can use to take action. The Action Center also provides access to community coaches.
I’m going to highlight a couple of tools today that come from the Action Center.
_____________________________
NOTE TO PRESENTER:
If you’re demonstrating on the website, you may want to open one of the Action Center guides to further show what is available there. (www.countyhealthrankings.org/roadmaps/action-center)
You can also use the our Action Center walk through video to provide a brief (2:39) tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RayEte7EJb0
KEY POINTS:
The Take Action Cycle is the HOW within Rankings & Roadmaps. It is a simple and straightforward process that communities follow to improve health.
Gather information to assess needs and resources.
Set priorities, so you can focus on what’s important.
Find the most effective approaches to address your priorities, and then …
Get to work on acting on what’s important.
And of course evaluating throughout the cycle will help you improve your strategies and ensure that what you’re doing is effective.
You’ll see that Communicate and Work Together sits on the outside of the cycle because they are essential throughout the take action cycle.
But at the heart of the Take Action Cycle is people working together because we know solving issues like childhood obesity, poor high school graduations rates, or inadequate healthcare require the wisdom and resources of people from all walks of life.
I’m going to introduce you to FOUR tools from our Roadmaps to Health Action Center. We’ll spend 2 minutes on each tool and then you and your colleagues at your table will choose one of the tools to spend a little more time with, thinking about how you could use it in your community.
KEY POINTS:
This tool (from Center for Creative Leadership) is often used as a group activity to engage in deeper dialogue about who the group members are and to move beyond typical introductions and ice-breakers.
This tool (from CHR&R), adapted from the Center for Creative Leadership, provides discussion questions for partnership members to discuss with key decision makers in their organizations to more clearly define roles and boundaries.

Roadmaps to Health Coaching provides local leaders anywhere in the country with direct support from community coaches to strengthen their capacity to advance health in their communities. Thanks to the support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, coaching is available at no cost to communities. This service provides guidance in how best to strengthen partnerships, enhance skills in a strategic manner, or navigate challenging policy advocacy choices.
Nearly a dozen community coaches will work with communities in short (one phone call) to long-term (one year of monthly coaching contact) coaching agreements. Most, if not all, coaching is provided through distance learning technology or phone contact. Coaching may be requested through the Contact Us or “Get Help” box on the website.
