Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Office of Policy and Planning is excited to present the Social Determinants of Health Summit, From Roadmap to Reality: Implementing Michigan’s Roadmap to Healthy Communities for Lasting Change. The 2nd Annual Social Determinants of Health Summit will be held January 23- 26, 2024. The live virtual session will take place January 23-25th with a half day in-person reception on January 26th.

The goal of the Summit is to create a space for collaboration and alignment with Michigan partners. We hope to learn from each other and strengthen our partnerships for a greater impact in community.

Phase III will focus on innovative solutions to support community-led strategies and closing the disparity gap. Through the Strategy, we are building a framework to better support and sustain community led efforts through SDOH Hubs. This framework was developed through statewide engagement and leadership including recommendations from our Community Information Exchange (CIE) Taskforce, Community Health Worker (CHW) Subcommittee, and our local health departments through the SDOH Planning Grants.

Phase III of the strategy will have a focused approach to tackle disparities by addressing underlying causes through upstream actions and offering solutions through midstream interventions.
