title: Partnering for the community's well-being.
abstract: Health care organizations throughout Michigan continue to adjust to tightening budgets. Even so, there is a growing need to understand and act upon the more global and vexing health issues facing local communities. Managed care has greatly impacted community hospitals as well as community health agencies. The need to do more with less, and to do it more effectively whenever possible, has become a challenge for all involved in the health delivery system.
