Mid-Michigan Spartans Present: Healthcare & Homelessness in Mid-Michigan

Spartan Spotlight is hosted by the Mid-Michigan Spartans featuring compelling stories of Spartans in our community. Our March event will feature Spartans engaged in combatting homelessness in Mid-Michigan and in ensuring better health outcomes for those experiencing homelessness.
The Mid-Michigan Spartans will moderate a conversation featuring Dr. Graham Atkin, Director of Spartan Street Medicine; Brian Peters, CEO of Michigan Health & Hospital Association; Eric Hufnagel, CEO of the Michigan Coalition Against Homelessnes. Eric Hufnagel will share important statistics and contributing factors regarding homelessness in Mid-Michigan. Brian Peters will make the case on the importance of a community commitment to healthcare for those experiencing housing and food insecurity.
