Thank you Karen Hinshaw, Public Health Hero!

Thank you Karen Hinshaw, Public Health Hero!

Thank you Karen Hinshaw!

Associate Director at

Connections IN Health


"Karen Hinshaw has done a remarkable job building 'Connections IN Health' over the past three years, more than quadrupling participation in the IDOH-supported State health coalitions. She has effectively integrated the functioning of these coalitions AND moved their activities to support LOCAL health coalitions, beginning in Grant and Vermilion counties, and now moving to Blackford and Washington counties. Her work has significantly expanded health coalition work throughout the State of Indiana."
