This year, the Wisconsin Partnership Program will include six different public health initiatives in this year’s annual Community Impact Grant, the program announced in a press release. The initiatives, which target a variety of public health inequities, will each receive $1 million in funding over the course of five years.
Among those recipients was a joint initiative focusing on Black men’s mental health by the Rebalanced Life Wellness Association and the Urban League of Greater Madison.
RLWA founder Aaron Perry said the organization was born out of his own desire to inspire and advocate for those with diabetes after his own success combating the disease. In 2005, just 362 days after Perry’s doctor informed him his diabetes was out of control, he turned his health around and completed the Iron Man triathlon, becoming the first insulin dependent diabetic black man in the competition’s history to do so.
