Benefits of Collaboration
Working together to advance a person-centered system of health and social support services in Michigan, MI Care Council:
- Promotes state and local public policies that support a system of high quality, integrated health and social support services.
- Advocates for our members by working collaboratively with community leaders, local and state governments, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and other interested organizations to leverage better behavioral health, physical health and social support services for the citizens of Michigan.
- Provides education and information designed to enhance members’ knowledge of emerging issues, best practices, new protocols and public policy-maker needs that support the delivery of high-quality, cost-effective care and services.
