title: Building a healthier northern Michigan.
abstract: Over the last 10 years, hospitals in the north central region of Michigan have collaborated with human service agencies across a 21-country area of northern Lower Michigan on the Community Health Assessment Project: Building A Healthier Northern Michigan. A survey was completed in 1995 that provided insight into the health status of adults in the region. The survey helped communities identify health priorities and implement plans to address them.
