Community Plunge® - Learning History

Organizations like ours try to learn from our experiences, both the successful and not so successful ones. This is a way of assessing our effectiveness and sharing information. It is an important process for the growth of any organization. In doing so, we have recorded some of our learning, process around the concept of a "learning history."

We went back to the source of our Community Plunge® Initiative - the people who created it, those who developed the concepts and formed the process for driving it, those who helped to implement and manage it, and even those who participated. We tried to capture and convey the experience and insights of these people. The result of this new form of assessment, a Learning History, is put forth on the pages that follow. We believe that what we have learned will help you to develop and implement a successful Community Plunge® for your community or organization.

We hope that this learning history will help and encourage you to get aboard. It is designed as a road map to help get you started. What you learn will be decided upon which turns you take along the way and which signs you chose to follow.

Memorial Health System staff members are more than happy to answer any questions you may have regarding this process. Please feel free to call us at (574) 647-7115.
