Expanding Opportunities and Access in the County

Wabasha County SHIP continues to collaborate with partners across the county.

During the 2016-2017 grant cycle, SHIP worked with a total of 76 partner sites to implement activities that expanded opportunities and access to healthy eating, active living, and tobacco-free living. 

Seeking partner success stories. 

We’re looking for photos, quotes and stories from partners receiving grant funds in order to demonstrate success in Wabasha County. 

Technical assistance and financial support for health improvement efforts that align with SHIP goals have received and approved from the Minnesota Department of Health which oversees Wabasha SHIP.

If you’re a partner who has received grant funding since February 24, 2017 and have not yet sent us your story and photos, please submit to Tina Moen at tmoen@co.wabasha.mn.us.

Partner testimonials:

“Saint Elizabeth’s received SHIP support to create dedicated lactation rooms for our employees. Funding was used to furnish and equip our lactation spaces so breastfeeding moms have the resources they need to continue breastfeeding when they return to work. We are grateful for the partnership of SHIP to advance our worksite wellness initiatives.”

- Jenny Schlagenhaft, Director Community Relations, Saint Elizabeth’s Medical Center

“SHIP will brighten the future of our young children. I am proud to be part of this program and cannot wait to teach my knowledge to the youngsters in my care.”    

- Stacey Kruger, child care provider

 

Examples of how we work together:

  • We partner with Wabasha County schools to promote healthy eating through the Farm-to-School program, school-based agriculture and healthy snack carts.

  • We partner with sites that work with farmers markets, emergency food systems, community-based agriculture and food policy councils.

  • We provide kits to child care providers who attend trainings to learn best practices in healthy eating, physical activity and support for breastfeeding.
