SHIP acknowledgment reminder
This is a reminder that as part of our statewide communications efforts, we are asking partners to acknowledge funding support from the Statewide Health Improvement Partnership on communications materials, including evaluation reports.
This can be
accomplished by using the statewide logo and if possible, by including some
content about SHIP as a funding source.
This helps
SHIP to continue building a strong statewide presence. Electronic files of SHIP
logos are available at the Grantee Support Communications web
page.
First meeting is today
Register now for the five remaining SHIP trainings that grantees are expected to attend. Work sites and health care are the topics this round.
