2022 | THRIVE IMPACT REPORT


A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO The global pandemic we’ve endured over the past two years has taught us much and brought significant issues and needs to the forefront. Health, wellness and economic prosperity across the country and throughout Michigan — including right here in the Great Lakes Bay Region — have been tested and pushed to the limits.

I've spent the first few months in my new position learning as much as I can by reaching out to and engaging with a diverse group of stakeholders. I've listened and asked questions to best understand the needs of the communities we serve, and I'll always make this kind of engagement one of my goals.

For 15 years, however, the Michigan Health Improvement Alliance has been positively impacting health and economic sustainability in the Great Lakes Bay Region. Most recently, this has been driven through the THRIVE framework: Transforming Health Regionally in a Vibrant Economy.

Know this: The entire MiHIA team and I are committed to rallying partners, stakeholders and funders to expedite our collective efforts around a shared vision, key priorities and measurable goals. At the same time, we also recognize and value the unique needs of our various communities and will facilitate opportunities to learn from and help each other.

THRIVE is a transformational effort to positively shift health and economic success by focusing on five strategic priorities: building provider capacity, increasing access to preventative care, investing in social determinants of health, creating jobs and developing an attractiveness engine that continually improves the region by drawing residents, employees and businesses. We are paving the way for healthy people and a vibrant community, and I’m inspired by the progress we’ve made thus far.

This report will take you on a journey through the first few years of THRIVE, showcasing impact and outcomes to date. We should celebrate these successes. At the same time, we must rededicate ourselves to the important work that lies in front of us. I look forward to bringing stability to the organization, to attracting new and expanded funding for our collective efforts, and to collaborating with each of you.

I believe the challenges we’ve faced over the past couple of years have emphasized the critical need to focus on our strategic priorities and accelerate those initiatives that will generate the greatest outcomes. We are uniquely positioned — by working together — to drive not just incremental gains, but to fuel truly transformational change in the Great Lakes Bay Region. While my journey with MiHIA started just a few short months ago, I'm thrilled to have joined a team determined to create positive community impact for decades to come. 01

As you read further about the details and impact of this work, please know the important role you play, whether that is as a partner, a funder or a community member, in advancing the region toward a healthier, more vibrant future. We are stronger together. With health, vibrancy and gratitude,

Heidi L. Tracy

CEO, Michigan Health Improvement Alliance 2022 | THRIVE IMPACT REPORT


There is a powerful and inseparable linkage between economic success and health. Healthy people make for vibrant communities.

OUR MISSION Our mission is to improve the health of people within our region through effective use of information and collaboration to establish our region as a community of health excellence through collective impact. We execute that mission through THRIVE, taking a region-wide collaborative approach to population health, well-being and community advancement for all.

OUR VISION HEALTHY PEOPLE. VIBRANT COMMUNITIES. Quite often in communities, different groups and organizations are working in isolation on important issues. Through collective impact, our vision is to change that by bringing people together, in a structured way, to achieve social change. The idea is that by coming together and working with a common agenda, organizations within a community can address issues, define solutions and create a prosperous future more effectively together than any one organization could do alone.

OUR ROLE The magnitude of challenges demands engagement of all forces and a regional perspective. As a 14-county multi-stakeholder community collaborative, the Michigan Health Improvement Alliance plays a unique role in outlining shared prevention goals, identifying evidence-based interventions, coordinating funding streams, and acting as a convener of regional stakeholders. By creating innovative partnerships between primary care, community-based organizations, employers, local philanthropic foundations, and other partners, we can better address obstacles to healthy living.

There is a powerful and inseparable linkage between economic success and health. Healthy people make for vibrant communities.

Transforming Health Regionally in a Vibrant Economy There is a powerful and inseparable linkage between economic success and health. Healthy people make for vibrant economies. The Michigan Health Improvement Alliance (MiHIA), Inc., founded in 2007, is a 501(c)3 working toward achieving sustainable system change and improved health outcomes of people within a 14-county region in central Michigan. Focused on improving health within our region through a comprehensive focus on sustainable systems change, MiHIA serves as a catalyst in advancing the health ecosystem, accelerating competitive advantage, fostering long-term sustainability, and enhancing the efforts of its valued partners. It also functions as a conduit between organizations, grantmakers, philanthropists and businesses as it drives not just incremental progress, but transformational improvement. This is accomplished through the THRIVE framework — Transforming Health Regionally in a Vibrant Economy. This unprecedented effort was launched in 2017 and today is fully coordinated by MiHIA. Its five priority areas are: Provider capacity Preventive care, mental health and well-being Social determinants of health Job creation Attractiveness engine Vibrant communities are composed of healthy, productive residents who are essential for a robust economy. THRIVE focuses on a balanced portfolio of evidence-based interventions designed to deliver improved population health and long-term system change at scale.

SYSTEMS CHANGE AS A MODEL FOR PROGRESS “If you look very closely, at just one wire in the cage, you cannot see the other wires. It’s only when you step back, stop looking at the wires one by one, microscopically, and take a macroscopic view of the whole cage, that you can see why the bird does not go anywhere. The bird is surrounded by a network of systemically-related barriers, no one of which would be the least hindrance to its flight, but which, by their relations to each other, are as confirming as the solid walls of a dungeon.” - MARILYN FRYE 2022 | THRIVE IMPACT REPORT

2022 | THRIVE IMPACT REPORT


OUR IMPACT ATTRACTIVENESS ENGINE PATIENT SAFETY Medication Safety Older adults generally have the greatest use of medications and often suffer from adverse consequences due to the use of multiple medications, changes in body physiology and long-term use. By changing prescribing and monitoring practices, the potential exists to protect thousands of older people in our region.

Impact: Engaged 20+ regional organizations, including five health systems, the Michigan State Medical Society and Michigan Pharmacy Association to develop patient forums and an online resource center and to advocate for involvement of pharmacists on patient care teams. Direct benefit for 152,034 individuals aged 65+, of whom 66,833 (44%) have documented polypharmacy and 39,159 (26%) are currently taking high-risk medications. People of all ages will benefit from the system changes made in medication safety. With the help of the major hospital systems in the Great Lakes Bay Region, THRIVE began reporting annual patient safety data in 2021 (2019 data), with a target of achieving Zero Harm by 2025. Investment Profile: This work began in 2020 with a planning grant from the Michigan Health Endowment Fund. The current phase includes an additional round of implementation grant funding to provide education materials for patients, families and caregivers; advocating for the role of pharmacists in the patient’s primary care team; and forming outreach and partnerships with several local senior networks and organizations among other efforts.

BUILDING PROVIDER CAPACITY

DEVELOP A REGIONAL HEALTH EDUCATIONAL HUB

A shortage of healthcare providers is severely impacting our country, state and region. A regional health education hub inclusive of all health systems and universities, including Central Michigan University’s Medical Education Partners and the CMU College of Medicine, will leverage the collective knowledge in the region to deliver efficient care, foster a shared learning environment, provide for basic public health needs and build a pipeline to address the healthcare provider shortages. Through education and interdisciplinary research, along with a commitment to a holistic approach to patient care, a regional health education hub will be a catalyst for transformational change and a model for quality healthcare delivery, enhancing our regional training programs and overall population health. Two comprehensive population health education modules have been completed and are ready for use. Current discussions are underway to design a path forward.

Impact: A health education hub will help to address the overall healthcare provider shortage by: ·Streamlining components of a baseline education among health disciplines. ·Building on current education and healthcare development efforts. Extending provider capacity into aspects such as research, prevention and overall improved care delivery. Investment Profile: Funding for this effort would come from multiple funding steams, sources and stakeholders in the region.

INVESTING IN SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH REGIONAL OPIOID STRATEGY

Michigan ranks 12th in the nation for opioid overdose deaths and opioid use impacts all genders, age groups and socio-economic statuses. Through THRIVE, a coordinated approach to treatment is being developed, utilizing the existing regional strategy map of services, interventions, initiatives and actions. Impact: Development of an Overdose Quick Response Team, which served 280 people in 2021; 25+ providers trained in Medication Assisted Treatment. Alternative Pain Management program piloted by 260 people at Great Lakes Bay Health Centers (FQHC serving over 70,000 people); development of a regional non-opioid, non-pharmaceutical pain therapy service providers directory. Regional partners created a strategy map, catalogued current activities and coordinated clinical and alternative pain management practices. Investment Profile: The Overdose Quick Response Team is supported by a grant with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services in partnership with the Michigan Overdose Data to Action Team. The Michigan State Medical Society sponsors the non-opioid, non-pharmaceutical directory. 2022 | THRIVE IMPACT REPORT

INVESTING IN SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH ACCESS AND QUALITY OF FOOD Food as Medicine with DayTwo This effort uses food as medicine by way of microbiome analytics through a partnership with the San Francisco-based company DayTwo. Impact: A · n initial pilot included Covenant HealthCare, the Morley Foundation, Ascension St. Mary's, MyMichigan Health and Central Michigan University. M · ore than 110 participants participated in the regional pilot in Michigan and had a 78 percent reduction or elimination of medications. Savings from the reduction of medication for per 100 enrolled is estimated to be $430,000/annually. ·A Medicaid pilot also is underway and the model can be expanded to include other organizations and groups in the future. Investment Profile: A no-cost pilot was provided to all participants as part of DayTwo's launch efforts and organizations could then opt in for additional rounds of coverage and analysis beyond the initial pilot efforts.

Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) This initiative covers 176 people who are registered for a Virtual Diabetes Prevention Program through Canary Health. THRIVE collaborated with 17 partner organizations who helped refer individuals for the pilot, which involved adopting and maintaining healthy lifestyles by eating healthier, increasing physical activity, and losing a modest amount of weight. Impact: The average retention rate through the major milestones of the program was 62 percent; overall retention rate of 43 percent. Participants experienced an average weight loss of five pounds with an average decrease in their Body Mass Index (BMI) of 1.1. Investment Profile: This work is funded through support from both the Health and Well-being Fund and a grant from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

STRATEGIC ACTIONS TO ADDRESS FINANCIAL STABILITY VITA Tax Training and Preparation The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) grant program is an Internal Revenue Service initiative designed to support free tax preparation service for the underserved through various partner organizations. This service helps low- to moderateincome individuals, persons with disabilities, the elderly, and limited English speakers file their taxes each year. Impact: A VITA two-day training course was held for approximately 50 people from Bay, Saginaw and Midland Counties. These newly certified VITA tax professionals will now complete tax preparation for and provide financial support to several low-income community members each year. Investment Profile: More than 20 different organizations are engaged in this work through multiple funding streams.

Local Initiatives Support Corporation MiHIA is collaborating with the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), one of the largest Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) in the country, and has recently signed a three-year agreement to provide one-time funding to support the work of a LISC employee to be embedded in the region and work directly with local organizations. Impact: As a result of this agreement, LISC will invest at least $3 million and collaborate with THRIVE to find other investors for projects within the region. To date, THRIVE has submitted American Rescue Plan Act proposals to both the city of Saginaw and Saginaw County on behalf of LISC to fund two programs for home repair and to fund Financial Opportunity Centers. Investment Profile: Funding for this effort would come from multiple funding steams, sources and stakeholders in the region.

Bitwise Industries Discussions are underway to introduce the city of Saginaw to the Bitwise ecosystem, including workforce development programs, enterprise tech consulting and real estate. The Bitwise model creates an ecosystem that is an economic driver within cities and increases retention of talent to the area. Impact: THRIVE has engaged 50+ stakeholders in ongoing discussions with Bitwise Industries. If selected, Bitwise would bring the knowledge and capacity to train low income and at-risk populations with in-demand technical skills. Investment Profile: Funding for this effort would come from multiple funding steams, sources and stakeholders in the region. 09

SCORECARD LAUNCH THRIVE SCORECARD LAUNCH ON MIHIA DASHBOARD 4.0 The MiHIA Dashboard 4.0 analysis tool helps people in the 14 counties and beyond in making healthy decisions quickly, monitor the region's performance and encourages information sharing. The THRIVE Scorecard, launched in 2021, is the newest component of the dashboard and highlights approximately 40 health and economic measures for the Great Lakes Bay Region, as well as data for each individual county. The scorecard also highlights important data from the U.S. News and World Report Healthiest Communities Score, a best practice for communities in tracking wellness outcomes.

The vision of THRIVE is to see a thriving region with transformed healthcare, exceptional community well-being and a vibrant economy. The Scorecard Report serves to set a baseline for our work in the region, including data specific to each of the 14 counties in the MiHIA region.

The perspective we gain through visual data representation can reveal insights for research, planning and disease management. Maps can also highlight geographic disparities, show trends and point community members to resources.

Health equity implies that ideally everyone would have the same opportunity to reach their full health potential and that no one would be disadvantaged in any way while trying to achieve their entire potential. There are also several tutorials on the site to orient users how to gain insight and read this information.
