Funding from the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will support a new Health Equity Project in five Michigan counties. The project aims to advance health equity for historically disadvantaged populations by connecting people with social services such as housing and food supports. The project will also create a shared data service to facilitate more streamlined care and share population level data with policy makers so they can make more informed decisions. CHRT is providing backbone support to the local work in Washtenaw and Livingston counties, providing administrative support to the other four regions, and initiating a multi-region learning community to identify ways the participating Michigan counties can work together to accelerate progress.
