Grand Valley State University will be collaborating with the state of Michigan to develop and improve the health pathways for overweight and obese people in Grand Rapids. The Michigan Department of Community Health was given a three-year, $1.5 million grant from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration, and will work with GVSU and Wayne State, to assist patients in Grand Rapids and Detroit. This grant will allow for MDCH and partners to make a creative and thoughtful approach to help obese children and adults at the WSU Campus Health Center and GVSU Family Health Center, which are both nurse-managed clinics.
