1422 Wrap Up and Thank You!
As we wrap up four years of 1422 grant work, we want to reflect on the incredible successes of the grant and our cross-sector partners. This was our largest grant to date and it allowed us to practice what we preach by bringing our community together to support policy and systems change. Plus, it helped support the fantastic work of our partners. We’re grateful to all who participated in this effort. We want to give a special shout out to the Department of Health and Chris Zipperer for their enduring support.
