Our Project's Impact

The Michigan Pediatric Epilepsy Project helped partners make important changes to improve care for children and youth with epilepsy. Watch the video to hear our partners share their experiences and ways in which the project impacted how they deliver services. 
Between 2010 and 2024, the Michigan CSHCS (Children's Special Health Care Services) Division led a partnership focused on increasing access to quality health care for children and youth with epilepsy (CYE) in rural and underserved areas. The Michigan Pediatric Epilepsy Project collaborated with clinic sites across the state, along with other statewide partners, to implement quality improvement (QI) practices supporting health care transition, communication and collaboration (care coordination) among providers, telehealth, and shared decision-making. 

This project is supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under grant number H98MC26257, Awareness and Access to Care for Children and Youth with Epilepsy, in the amount of $416,000.
