U-M KNOWLEDGE & SCHOLARSHIP
“We enjoy a singular position of having a hospital, health care providers, an insurance company, and health policy experts. We can use those intellectual resources to help the nation in addressing the growing crisis in health care. There are few current issues on which the University of Michigan is better positioned to engage public discourse and provide national leadership.” - President Mary Sue Coleman
Michigan Healthy Community Task Force Charge
Developing creative approaches to promoting health within the University community
Michigan Healthy Community Progress Report
Three initial proposals have been selected for implementation in 2006: Leadership and Engagement, Physical Activity, and Ergonomics.
Michigan Healthy Community Advisory Committee
The Michigan Healthy Community mission is to advance public discussion and encourage social commitment to change by conceiving of health as a community process within the special context of the University workplace.
The Michigan Healthy Community Advisory Committee invites community contributions to these deliberations with particular focus on how effectively, how seamlessly, and to what consequence, the University can integrate the promotion of healthy living with the provision of health care coverage and service delivery.
