The Michigan Improving Cardiovascular Health (MICH) Learning Collaborative is a statewide multidisciplinary partnership of representatives from public health, healthcare, and community-based settings. Members are driven by the goals of facilitating communication and the exchange of ideas around successful approaches for mitigating cardiovascular disease (CVD) inequities. Collaborative members concentrate their collective efforts on the implementation and evaluation of evidence-based strategies that can contribute to the prevention and management of CVD.
A primary focus of the MICH Learning Collaborative is to promote multi-sector collaboration toward addressing the social and economic factors necessary for helping communities and health systems respond to social determinants present in their communities and to offer resources to those at highest risk of CVD for obtaining the best possible health outcomes.

The MICH Learning Collaborative hosts quarterly statewide Learning Sessions with impactful information toward improvement of cardiovascular health equity and outcomes, with a particular focus on improving detection, control and management of hypertension.
At every session, attendees from across clinical and community-based networks have the opportunity to share their experiences, barriers and improvements related to hypertension burden and control. These sessions are free and are open to anyone who is enthusiastic about improving cardiovascular health equity throughout Michigan!

Individuals from clinical and community-based partner organizations shared their experiences around best practices for hypertension (HTN) detection, control and management, specifically pertaining to successes and barriers around the evidence-based strategies of health systems interventions, team-based care, and community-clinical linkages for HTN. Topics for discussion included: implementation of health systems interventions, such as Target BP; engagement of multidisciplinary teams, including community health workers (CHWs); and enhancing community clinical linkages through programs such as the evidence-based Healthy Heart Ambassador lifestyle change program (HHAP).
This session focused on barriers and facilitators to improving patient and person-centered care, including:
Phillip Levy, MD, MPH, FACEP, FAHA, FACC, Professor of Emergency Medicine and Associate Vice President for Translational Science, Wayne State University, and Director, Wayne Mobile Health Unit Program
Shannon Lijewski, NCHW, MBA, CHCEF, Chief Executive Officer, Everyday Life Consulting
This session focused on the importance of engaging communities in the design and implementation of cardiovascular health programming.
