The GrapeVine Project is one of Wisconsin Women’s Health Foundation’s health education and outreach programs. WWHF provides nurses with in-depth training and packaged “units” on women’s health topics. Nurses then conduct free one-hour education sessions in their communities at locations including libraries, churches, schools, senior centers, and many more. GrapeVine reaches about 1500 women annually and 90 nurses currently partner with us in the program. Location: Madison, WI.Event »
