“Our mission at AHW is to serve as a catalyst for positive change in the health of Wisconsin communities,” said AHW Director Jesse Ehrenfeld, MD, MPH. “This recent round of seed grant funding is proof positive of the good work being done both within 果冻影院 and throughout Wisconsin that warrants attention, funding, and collaboration in order to maximize its positive impact on the health of the communities we serve.”
