Community Involvement
All of our positions at the Department of Community Health (MDCH) touch the people of Michigan, directly or indirectly. We work together at the MDCH to make individuals healthier, families safer and communities stronger. To achieve these goals, we educate communities through Michigan Events, Education and Outreach.
