Nearly 300 health promotion enthusiasts made their way to Wisconsin Dells in June 2018 to take part in the biennial Healthy Aging Summit — WIHA’s flagship event. General session topics ranged from the health benefits of pets to the importance of moving from sick care to well care.

We launched the “Help Yourself to Better Health” public awareness campaign in June 2018 to highlight the role we all play in our own health and encourage people to engage in health promotion programs and practices.
