Cancer and heart disease are the leading causes of death for Michigan women, and to tackle this issue the Cancer Prevention and Control Section of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has screening programs for women.
To promote these programs, the MDHHS Cancer Section began the Women’s Health Partnership to partner with organizations to:
Strength in numbers The Women’s Health Partnership (WHP) exists to provide education and engage women in free health services and resources for themselves and their families. This work is not possible without the collaboration and expertise of community members. The WHP would like to welcome community members and healthcare professionals to participate in bi-monthly meetings to inform and guide the dissemination of health screening and quality of life resources for women in Michigan. These meetings take place on the third Wednesday of October 2024, and February, May, August, and November 2025 from 2-3 PM ET.
If you are interested in this opportunity as a community member, please fill out this interest form: https://www.research.net/r/WHP_Application
Community members in attendance are eligible to receive a $25 VISA gift card as a thank you for their time and expertise offered at each meeting. Please share this opportunity with anyone that may be interested!
Please note that this opportunity is aimed to welcome community members with personal lived experiences in the Women’s Health Partnership topics. Our goal is to spotlight the voices of those who don’t traditionally have their voices heard in conversations about advancing women’s health.
If you are a healthcare professional, there are other ways you can engage with our programs! Check out the BC3NP & WISEWOMAN Provider Flyer to learn about how you can refer patients that you work with to our women’s health programs. Contact MDHHS-WomensHealthPartner@Michigan.gov if you are interested in joining our workgroup meetings or have any questions.
The Women’s Health Partnership (WHP) was created to form partnerships with organizations who are servicing their community. The WHP's hope is to collaborate with trusted community focused organizations to provide education and engage women in free health services and resources for themselves and their families. As the WHP progressed as a campaign a number of organizations have joined. You can view the complete list of our partners below in our "Partnerships" tab. Please email us at MDHHS-WomensHealthPartner@Michigan.gov with any questions or if you are interested in joining the Women's Health Partnership.
