Group Collaboration

Collectively paving the way for healthy people and a vibrant community

THRIVE —Transforming Health Regionally in a Vibrant Economy — is positively shifting health and economic success in a 14-county region by focusing on five strategic priorities: building provider capacity, increasing access to preventative care, investing in social determinants of health, creating jobs and developing an attractiveness engine that continually improves the region by drawing residents, employees and businesses. 

Driven by the Michigan Health Improvement Alliance, the THRIVE effort is creating transformational change and improving lives across our coverage area through initiatives focused on:

  • Medication safety for older adults
  • Patient safety
  • Healthcare education expansion
  • Opioid treatment to reduce use and overdose deaths
  • Prenatal, infant and maternal health
  • Obesity and diabetes prevention
  • Mental health
