THRIVE
Creating transformational change and improving lives across our region
Transforming Health Regionally in a Vibrant Economy — THRIVE — was born out of a strategic planning effort and today remains the strategic framework for the Michigan Health Improvement Alliance.
The THRIVE framework, a roadmap of focused interventions, guides MiHIA’s long-term regional strategy. The goal: to enhance health and economic success on a transformational level for individuals, families, and communities.
Together, a multitude of partners work to create a thriving region.
Building Our Roadmap
In 2017, efforts began to gather stakeholder perspectives in the initial planning stages for THRIVE. For this comprehensive effort, 80+ regional stakeholders were involved in developing approaches to health and economic improvement, values, opportunities, and challenges. They compiled a significant amount of data, gained input from community leaders across multiple sectors, mapped systems, and modeled scenarios.
These stakeholders identified five strategic priority areas to guide the THRIVE portfolio:
- Building provider capacity
- Increasing access to preventative care
- Investing in social determinants of health
- Creating jobs
- Developing an attractiveness engine that improves the region by attracting and supporting residents, employees and businesses.
The THRIVE portfolio was launched in 2019 with emphasis on eight initial interventions. Learn more about the path to implementation and our progress below.
