Michigan's State Plan
The Michigan Department of Community Health has developed a state genetics plan called Genetics Through the Life Cycle: Improving Health and Preventing Disease 2003-2008 .This 5-year strategic plan involved collaboration with numerous partners and stakeholders and was based on the findings of a statewide needs assessment conducted from 2000-2003 that included input from nearly 1,000 Michigan residents. The comprehensive planning process was funded by a federal grant from the Genetic Services Branch of the Health Resource and Services Administration – Maternal and Child Health Bureau (HRSA/MCHB).
