The MHA has granted funding to seven institutions to support development or expansion of hospital-based peer recovery coach (PRC) programs. The funding will support the addition of 18 new hospital-based PRCs and expand treatment options for patients with a substance use disorder (SUD).
The MHA recently issued a request for proposals for a competitive grant program for Michigan healthcare entities aimed at developing or expanding hospital-based peer recovery coach programs. Funding for this effort was made available by the Michigan Legislature as part of the state fiscal year 2025 budget to expand access to hospital-based PRC services.
The MHA received nine applications from organizations in seven distinct regions of the state, encompassing many innovative approaches to provide high-quality care for individuals experiencing substance use disorders.
These seven organizations, which were granted funding, are as follows:
- Aspire Rural Health System
- Bronson Healthcare
- Corewell Health East
- Henry Ford Health
- Memorial Healthcare
- Munson Healthcare
- Trinity Health Ann Arbor
The MHA appreciates the time and effort that went into developing applications and looks forward to partnering to expand access to SUD services across the state.
