The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) has received a three-year $1.5 million grant from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration to improve health outcomes for overweight and obese patients in two medically underserved areas in Michigan: Detroit and Grand Rapids. This grant will allow MDCH and partners to develop a team-based approach to care for obese children, students and adults at two university-affiliated nurse-managed primary care clinics: the Wayne State University Campus Health Center and the Grand Valley State University Family Health Center. MDCH's partners on this initiative include WSU College of Nursing, GVSU's Office of the Vice Provost for Health and Kirkhof College of Nursing, Michigan Area Health Education Center, and Michigan Health Council.
