| The Michigan Health &
Hospital Association (MHA) advocates for Michigan hospitals
and the patients they serve. This includes all 144
community hospitals in the state, which are available to
assist each of Michigan’s more than 10 million residents, 24
hours a day, seven days a week.
Michigan hospitals consist of
various types of health care facilities, including public
hospitals — owned by city, county, state or federal
government — and nonpublic hospitals — individually
incorporated or owned and operated by a larger health
system. Within those general categories are several
classifications of facilities.
The state’s critical access
hospitals efficiently serve citizens in rural areas, where
the facility is the only hospital within a certain minimum
number of miles. Michigan’s teaching hospitals are among the
best in the nation, training future physicians and surgeons
while caring for the ill and injured.
Some of the hospitals in the
state are specialized to treat specific conditions or
populations. Rehabilitation hospitals work with handicapped
or disabled patients to help restore or adjust their ability
to perform everyday tasks. Children’s hospitals are
especially suited to treating pediatric patients and
psychiatric facilities are geared toward providing
psychiatric, psychological and social work services.
Veterans Affairs hospitals provide a variety of medical
services for veterans of the U.S. military.
The MHA serves all of these
hospitals, as well as many health-care-related organizations
such as law firms specializing in health care and insurance
companies that focus on health or medical liability
coverage. Using their collective voice, the MHA advocates
for its members before the legislature, government agencies,
the media and the public. In addition, the association
provides members with essential information and analysis of
health care policy and offers relevant education to keep
hospital administrators and their staffs current on
statewide issues affecting their facilities.

Health Facilities Atlas
The Michigan Department of
Community Health (MDCH), in collaboration with the Michigan
State University Department of Geography, released the 2008
MDCH Licensed Health Facilities Atlas on the MDCH Web site.
This atlas displays all licensed health facilities operating
in the State of Michigan in 2008. This atlas is maintained
by the MDCH and is here for informational purposes only.
