| Public
Health
The
health status of Michigan’s residents and specifically ethnic
and minority populations has seriously impacted the financial
condition of our state. It is the aim of our Public Health Division
by gearing programs and services to address the real causes of
various diseases and treat them in a holistic fashion. Through
small and steady changes in prevention efforts through life style
behavior medications, routine screenings and early detection methods
we can impact the morbidity and mortality of community members
and help reduce the medical costs. Through ongoing commitments
and eliciting subject matter experts we can impact the health
status of community members.
