The Michigan Health Endowment Fund aims to enhance the health and wellness of Michigan residents and reduce healthcare costs. It supports a wide range of organizations tackling health challenges across the state, striving for innovative and evidence-based solutions to improve community health and wellness from urban to rural areas.
The Healthy Aging Initiative focuses on enhancing the health and wellness of Michigan's older adults and their caregivers while simultaneously working to reduce healthcare costs. The initiative's objective is to support projects that improve care quality for the elderly within the healthcare system, better coordinate community care to boost health outcomes and reduce expenses, and bolster support for both formal and informal (family) caregivers at home. Priority areas for project proposals include Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias, Direct Care Workforce development, Elder Justice, innovative Respite programs, Rural Health, and addressing Social Determinants of Health to improve older adults' living conditions.
