EIGHT MICHIGAN HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS HAVE JOINED TO CREATE GREATER VALUE FOR THEIR PATIENTS AND COMMUNITIES BY FORMING VALUE HEALTH PARTNERS. THE ORGANIZATION'S FOCUS INVOLVES MAXIMIZING VALUE THROUGH CLINICAL QUALITY AND BEST PRACTICES, COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS HEALTH DISPARITIES FOR AT-RISK POPULATIONS, AND ADVOCACY TO REPRESENT A VARIETY OF MICHIGAN COMMUNITIES ON POLICY ISSUES.
