Final Economic Strategy Session of 2025
Join us for the third installment of Traverse Connect’s 2025 Economic Strategy Session series, where we’ll explore the intersection of healthcare access, economic stability, and mental health — three pillars identified in Munson Healthcare’s Community Health Needs Assessment Report, released every three years to guide our region’s priorities.
This session will provide valuable insights into how our healthcare and nonprofit leaders are working together to improve quality of life, strengthen community well-being, and create a healthier, more resilient northern Michigan.
