We remain committed – alongside MDHHS officials and the state Legislature – to develop a holistic health care approach to service that would pioneer an alignment of mental, physical, and social outcomes in our state’s Medicaid system. We still believe that the public mental health system and innovative and forward-looking private sector partners can design a groundbreaking behavioral health initiative that could fundamentally redefine the way local providers coordinate physical and mental healthcare and achieve sound health outcomes for our state’s most vulnerable and resilient citizens – and we want to ensure the project is implemented correctly. Michigan’s CMH system serves as the primary safety net for 300,000 of our state’s most vulnerable and resilient residents – people with mental illness, emotional disturbance, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and substance use disorders. Keeping the integrity of the state’s nationally recognized and locally governed public mental health system intact and strong is critical to maintaining the health outcomes of hundreds of thousands of Michigan citizens. “( Michigan Community Mental Health Agencies) byTerry Bankert (at Terry R.
