How Volunteers Can Address Michigan's Health Issues

The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) uses service as a strategy to address critical issues affecting communities across the state.

A large issue for many of Michigan's communities is that of health; including awareness of health services, access to quality health care, dealing with mental health/depression, obtaining affordable medications, addressing obesity, healthcare for the uninsured, and much more.

This issue is already being addressed in various ways - including through  Governor Rick Snyder's MiDashboard , through  First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" effort , through the  Corporation for National and Community Service's strategic priorities , and much more.

The MCSC would like to provide our grantees, volunteers, and the general public across Michigan with valuable information and resources on how we can use service as a strategy to address various health issues.

The MCSC's Healthy Initiative efforts will kick off the week of August 29, 2011 and be carried on throughout the year. At the end of August, please check this website for information and resources related to how volunteers can help address Michigan's health issues.
