President/CEO For nearly 100 years, Easterseals Michigan (ESM) has been an indispensable resource for individuals and families challenged by a special need and/or disability. As our country faces a broad range of new issues, we continue to make major, positive, life-changing differences in the lives of those living with a disability. 2016 provided us the opportunity to bring clarity and relevance to our brand; one that builds upon our successes and celebrates our enduring impact.

We developed a new brand strategy and with that, a purpose statement which replaces our traditional mission statement. Our new purpose statement is our rallying cry, a declaration of our vision, and a challenge to our organization to deliver. You can learn more about this on page five.

We have redefined disability for the 21st century to include invisible, emotional, social, and educational challenges in addition to physical disabilities. Disabilities were seen as a limitation on normal life, now they are part of everyday life and can be dealt with. It was a word that labeled people, and now it is a word that defines a barrier. It is no longer a condition that affects “other” people, but a condition that touches all of us at some point in our lives.

We are enthusiastic that our nation’s health care system has recognized the need to focus on social determinants (housing, food, jobs, education, transportation, social support, health care, etc.) and we aim to partner with them to better serve those in need. We were founded on caring for and supporting the whole person, along with the needs of the entire family, while also keeping an eye on “social determinants”. As we have evolved over the years we have, and will continue to cultivate and develop strong partnerships with foundations, donors, private and public payers, and those we serve. Each of these partners has continually challenged us to be innovative and helped make us who we are today. Moreover, today our strongest partner is the State of Michigan’s Public Mental Health system and together we have applied our shared values to meet the ever-changing needs of the community. This public/private partnership affords us the ability to leverage our respective strengths and talents to maximize public resources, while adding other resources and funding (not accessible by public entities) to be more innovative, and efficient, creating new best practices and meeting unmet needs.

We strive toward a health care system that builds upon the current model of care but enhances their holistic approach to embrace the individual and treat all of their needs.

For 2017 we look forward to new friends that will rise together addressing complementary facets of integrated holistic health. We request that each of you join us in making our vision a reality. Everyone deserves a chance to live a healthy, happy and meaningful life. Our ability to work with the community is who we are, and collectively our impact is so much greater.

senior reach There are currently 46 million senior citizens (65 and older) living in America. This number is expected to more than double to 98 million by 2060.* Demand for elder care will also be fueled by a steep rise in the number of Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease, which could nearly triple by 2050 to 14 million, from 5 million just a few years ago.* To address this need we introduced the Senior Reach® program, which is specifically for the older adult population that we serve. With age comes new social, physical, and emotional challenges and while many seniors have the support of friends and family during difficult times, others do not. Some older adults have more difficulty and require more help, but may be reluctant to seek it or may not know where to go.

Services include:

• Connection to community resources • Depression screening and treatment • Identification and early intervention of prescription drug misuse or abuse

This program is offered in Oakland, Kent, and Barry counties and is made possible thanks to the Michigan Health Endowment Fund.

Since the launch of the program in June we have helped

The program offers support for the wellbeing, independence and dignity of older adults through community education, mental health services, and connection to community resources. It is a program that identifies older adults who may need emotional or physical support and/or connection to community services and helps them to get assistance before a serious crisis develops.

autism SERVICES Since we opened our doors in 1920 we have been serving children with disabilities living in our communities. Over time the needs of the community have changed and we have changed our services to better meet this evolving change. For years we have been committed to providing cutting edge autism services. This means adding new evidence based practices to our array of services, improving staff training so we can offer cutting edge practices, or expanding our services into new cities to meet their need. This past year we started offering autism services in Macomb County and so far we have seen impressive results!

We currently offer the following autism services: • Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) • The PLAY Project • Occupational Therapy • Handwriting Without Tears • Sensory Integration

integrated care Last year approximately 34,000,000 Americans had co-occuring mental/medical health conditions. We have always believed that to properly serve our community we would need to look at the overall health care of the individuals we serve. This continues to be a major focus of our organization and as we move forward we continue to build new partnerships and provide new programs that will benefit their overall health. By integrating care with other providers we can better serve the individual, minimize cost, and increase quality of care. For many years we have been working closely with some of the largest medical care providers in our region.

Last year we expanded our partnership in the following ways:

• Partnered with Beaumont Health System to host a mental health fair which garnered massive media attention becoming the largest mental health fair Beaumont has ever had.

• Partnered with Oakland Integrated Healthcare Network to host an integrated health fair that included mental and medical screenings, access to resources, and free educational health materials.

• Developed a new interventionist position to collaborate with MyCare to streamline access to care. Since the position has been implemented numerous individuals have received services that they never may have been able to.

michigan farmers so they could continue working and providing for their families

Aaron Fenrich is a farmer, who suffered a massive heart attack which left him unable to work on his farm while he recovered. Easterseals stepped in and with help from Michigan Rehabilitation Services, additional equipment was provided which helped make it possible for Aaron to work while recovering and thus avoid losing his farm. “I was pretty skeptical at first but they told me they might be able to help me and keep me farming and not get on the welfare rolls.

And that is exactly what they did.� – Aaron Fenrich

In the summer of 2016, work was completed on the new concession building which includes an accessible family bathroom and a state-of-theart kitchen.

This building was made possible thanks to donor contributions and in-kind donations from local builders.

In addition to the new concession stand, we have also introduced new opportunities.

We held a football camp in partnership with Novi High School and partnered with The Dance Shoppe in Waterford and Dancemasters of Michigan to offer a dance program for the players. This new dance program has been very successful, and will be expanded further in 2017.

“What we love about these programs is that he can explore what he likes and be physical in a safe environment free from judgement. I also love that Easterseals Michigan is constantly looking for new opportunities for our kids to explore.”
