At Conversations for Change events, which began in September 2014, the Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin endowment invites a content expert and representatives from funded projects to facilitate discussion about issues influencing health in Wisconsin.

The next Conversation in the series will be held in Milwaukee on December 17, 2014. The topic for the discussion is community-based mental and behavioral health.

On December 18, 2014, a rescheduled Conversations for Change session will be held in Wausau. The event had been planned for November 2014 but was postponed due to severe winter weather. The topic for the discussion is the utilization of community collaboration to promote health in Wisconsin's rural communities.

Partners from Teleophthalmology to Improve Eye Health among Latinos, a 9th Funding Cycle HWPP Development project, are in the final days of a video competition. If they win, they will maximize the amount of seed money to support work in Wisconsin to increase diversity in medicine and science.

The winner of the largest seed grant ($7000) will be determined by which video has received the most 'Likes' on Youtube by next Monday, November 24, 2014.

For those who choose to help by 'Liking' the project's video, be aware that supporters that are not currently logged into a Google account will be prompted to log-in with a Google account after clicking the "Thumbs Up" icon.
