Michigan hospitals and thousands of their team members are voluntarily participating in MHA programs to improve healthcare safety and quality, with hospitals in other states increasingly joining these efforts. Guided by evidence-based best practices and strong data support, these initiatives are leading to significant improvements in patient outcomes, driven by the MHA Keystone Center’s mission, vision and values.
Rural hospitals are essential to the health and well-being of Michigan communities, yet they face unique challenges that require dedicated support and advocacy. Through policy leadership, strategic collaboration and targeted resources, the MHA Center of Rural Excellence works to strengthen rural healthcare and ensure hospitals can continue serving their communities for generations to come.
