The Waukesha County inclusive health coalition, led by Easter Seals Southeast Wisconsin, is working with a wide range of community partners on the county’s Community Health Initiative Process and Plan (CHIPP). The IHC is pursuing the creation of an inclusion/accessibility subgroup to ensure that all enacted and future health planning endeavors provide equitable benefit to people with disabilities. The IHC has also partnered with Carroll University with multiple planned initiatives, including creating and implementing an exercise and nutrition curriculum for people with disabilities at the Waukesha Adult Day Center, as well as working with a team of occupational therapy students to conduct the CHII at various built environment sites in the community.
