State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP)

State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP)

Our Vision:
Michigan will be a state with safe, connected, healthy, and vibrant communities, where every person is valued. Those who live, learn, work, play, and age in Michigan will have trust in, and equitable access to, services and safe environments that support a healthy life.

 

The 2024 State Health Improvement Plan is now published.

In 2024, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) Public Health Administration completed a State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP). The SHIP is a long-term systematic plan to address issues facing our state. Its purpose is to set priorities, direct resources, develop projects, programs and policies with the input and collaboration of local communities, internal and external stakeholders, and experts across Michigan. The SHIP focuses on what influences health and addresses social determinants of health.

The SHIP is a living document that will be revised as resources change and new partner activities are identified. It aims to be a living document that will be revised as resources change and new partner activities are identified. 

We all envision a healthier, more equitable Michigan alongside you.
