Hello! My name is Sydney and I'm a public health nurse in Virginia. I recently entered a public health nurse residency program through the University of Wisconsin - Madison, and am investigating congenital heart disease in our community. More specifically, congenital heart block and its management, as well as rates of CHD in general among different populations. I'm excited to learn all that I can and make real changes!

Welcome, Sydney! We're so glad you've joined the community. Your work around congenital heart disease and congenital heart block sounds both important and impactful-thank you for sharing a bit about it. The residency program sounds like a great opportunity, and we look forward to learning from your experiences and insights. Excited to have you here!

Hello! I'm Benita, a Population Health Analyst at Constellation Quality Health. My team recently launched the Constellation Regional Learning Collaborative, a 12-month initiative that brings together healthcare providers and community organizations in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida to improve prevention, detection, and management of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. This is a team-based learning initiative to strengthen how healthcare providers and community partners work together to improve hypertension and cardiovascular outcomes.

Hi, Benita! The Constellation Regional Learning Collaborative sounds like a great model for strengthening cross-sector partnerships to address hypertension and CVD. It would be great to learn more about what your team has been able to gather or learn so far through this initiative.

Also wondering, are there opportunities for local health departments in those states to participate or connect with the collaborative? It sounds like a valuable effort that aligns closely with many local public health priorities.

Thanks for sharing!
