Welcome to Michigan's State of Health, a podcast about reconnecting to care. For the first season of our podcast, we'll be talking to Michigan community health leaders about how COVID-19 has helped to reveal major, longstanding gaps in Michigan's health care system, and how it's catalyzed positive action to address those gaps.
Michigan's State of Health is a spinoff of the State of Health feature story series. This podcast is produced by Issue Media Group and made possible by the Michigan Health Endowment Fund.
The first podcast episodes will be published in mid-October 2021. Stay tuned!
