Become a MiCare Champion
Michigan communities are at risk of losing access to quality healthcare if we don’t address the funding crisis our hospitals are currently facing.
In Washington D.C. and Lansing, lawmakers take actions that affect your health and the healthcare system that serves you, your family and community in Michigan.
You can lend us a hand by spreading the word about issues that impact healthcare in our state and talking to your elected officials about building a healthier Michigan.
Protecting Michigan's Communities
Especially important to Michigan’s rural communities, hospitals provide vital access to healthcare services, improving the health status of residents who may otherwise forgo care due to transportation challenges.
These hospitals face unique funding challenges that can threaten the care and services they provide. Despite the challenges, healthcare continues to be the largest employer and backer of community improvement efforts in Michigan.

Making a Difference in our Communities
Michigan hospitals aren’t just there for you when you’re sick. In fact, hospitals in Michigan provide $784 million in community-based and voluntary activities in 2021 to help improve the health and well-being of residents — from education and prevention services to community outreach, clinical research and workforce restoration efforts.
