System
The West Virginia Health Innovation Collaborative, formed in an
effort to map a new strategic vision for a healthy and prosperous
West Virginia, announced the launch of a new website
www.wvhicollaborative.wv.gov.
“The goal of the West Virginia Health Innovation Collaborative
is to bring stakeholders together in a cooperative, encouraging and
supportive manner to strengthen the health and well-being of West
Virginians,” West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources
Deputy Secretary Jeremiah Samples said. “The collaborative aims to
be proactive, working collaboratively and committing to better
health outcomes, better health care, and lower costs.”
West Virginia ranks among the top in public risk factors that
include: child poverty, drug abuse, poor nutrition and tobacco use.
Additionally, West Virginia ranks among the bottom in America’s
Health Ranking in the areas of cardiac heart disease, high blood
pressure, obesity and mental health.
The collaborative is a public/private partnership open to all
stakeholders that will serve as an inventory for health innovation
initiatives. Additionally, the collaborative will facilitate the
sharing of best practices and explore and develop strategies to
improve the health care system in West Virginia.
The new interactive website will assist with these goals and be
a central information source on the initiatives, activities and
accomplishments of the collaborative. Visitors to the site will be
able to:
- View the Collaborative Event
Calendar
- Participate in Discussion Forums
- View the Statewide Initiatives Resource
Map
- Submit Program Information
Visitors to the site are able to download monthly newsletters
and quarterly meeting notes, important announcements, opportunities
to participate, and the progress of the collaborative.
The new website was developed by the Governor's Office of Health
Enhancement and Lifestyle Planning (GOHELP) and the West Virginia
Department of Health and Human Resources in partnership with
WV.gov.
