Wayne State President Allan Gilmour, Henry Ford Health System President and Chief Operating Officer Bob Riney, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Vice President and Corporate Secretary Tricia Keith participated in a Transformation Detroit media briefing yesterday. Among the topics explored was efforts to get people to work or move to Detroit. At least 100 employees between Wayne State University and Henry Ford Health System have signed up for the Live Midtown program, a financial incentive available to some 30,000 employees of the Detroit Medical Center, Henry Ford and Wayne State that entices them to live near their workplace. Twenty-eight Wayne State employees and 72 Henry Ford employees have been approved to date for incentives, and Gilmour said another 59 Wayne State employees have received promises of funding if they can find a place to live. A photo of President Gilmour addressing the media is included in the Michigan Blogger story.
