The next Michigan Health Policy Forum is scheduled on October 24, 2016 at the East Lansing Marriott Hotel at 1 PM.
The topic of the Forum will be an exploration of Michigan's response to the opioid epidemic that is afflicting our state and nation. The keynote speaker will be Lieutenant Gov. Brian Calley. Lt. Governor Calley's presentation will be followed by a panel discussion representing the many approaches that are necessary to address this public health issue.
Due to a high level of interest in this topic, the Forum is exploring the possibility of including an interactive site in Southeast Michigan to enable more participation in the Forum.
Please hold October 24, 2016 on your calendar. Registration will open during the week of August 29 and you will receive a final agenda and options for participation at that time.
On behalf of the Michigan Health Policy Forum Advisory Board, we look forward to seeing you on October 24 to examine the multi-professional responses necessary to confront the opioid epidemic that challenges Michigan.
Many of us from the Michigan Association for Local Public Health are planning to attend Healthy Safety Net 2016: A Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan symposium on Thursday, September 8th from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm at the Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center in East Lansing. Won’t you join us?
Healthy Safety Net 2016 will focus on compelling policies, practices, and partnerships. Highlights will be Dr. Barbara Israel’s presentation on health equity and evidence-based prevention and returning favorites, including Breaking News and Partnerships with Grant Makers. Opportunities to network with presenters and other safety net providers will be plentiful.
The Healthy Safety Net symposium is a unique opportunity to engage with experts in safety net health care in Michigan. I encourage you to attend and look forward to seeing you there.
