  • 2019 - 2021 EW Sparrow Hospital Community Health Needs Assessment
    2019 - 2021 EW Sparrow Hospital Community Health Needs Assessment Prepared by the Michigan Public Health Institute Acknowledgements Every three years the Community Health Needs Assessment focuses an essential light on issues of disparity for the underinsured, impoverished, and disadvantaged of the mid-Michigan region. This important work would not be possible without the collective efforts of the Healthy! Capital Counties collaborative. We are grateful to our partners at Ingham County Health Department, Barry-Eaton District Health Department, and Mid-Michigan District Health Department for engaging stakeholders throughout Clinton, Ingham, and Eaton Counties in the Community Health Improvement Process. Healthy! Capital Counties played an integral role in convening key representatives from a diverse group of organizations to prioritize the identified health needs of residents in the service area, across the entire socioeconomic spectrum. This report would not have been possible without their knowledge, experience, and ability to meaningfully connect with the people who live and work in this region. Their work is the basis for Sparrow Health System’s Community Health Needs Assessment report, which seeks to address the disparities within our local population regarding how healthy we are, what health conditions we suffer from, and the root causes of those health problems. This allows Sparrow Health System to create and implement strategies that advance our mission to provide quality, compassionate care to everyone, every time. We would also like to offer our sincere thanks to the many individuals who participated in the focus groups and key informant interviews conducted by the Michigan Public Health Institute. These individuals shared experiences from their personal and professional lives that allowed Sparrow Health System to delve even deeper into high priority health issues.

The Land Bank has chosen several strategically-located, tax-foreclosed houses to renovate and this has improved the overall appearance of many areas. This has helped to boost property values and helped this area to be a more functional place to be proud of. Houses that would not sell 15 years ago are now being sold and the neighborhood continues to improve.” – Dale Schrader, Walnut Neighborhood Organization CREATING BETTER COMMUNITIES Building great places one small step at a time…

  • Special Sparrow Michigan Athletic Club
    elcome and thank you for joining us today for the 21st Anniversary of the Capital Area Health Alliance. The Alliance was incorporated in 1993 as a coalition of organizations, Wbusinesses, health care professionals, and volunteers from Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties to facilitate improvements in healthy living, access, quality, and cost, in health resources in the tri-county area. This year, the work of the Alliance has enabled accomplishments such as: The Capital Area Community Nursing Network’s celebration of Nurses Week with a continuing education program. This committee has highlighted nursing practice and workforce issues and expanded available nursing teaching and learning opportunities. The Capital Area Physician Experience (CAPE) sponsored its 6th “Dine Around” to introduce MSU medical students to local physicians to enhance recruitment and retention of physicians. In spring of 2015, CAPE will offer a speaker panel on regional activities to recruit physicians. The End-of-Life Care Committee has been addressing issues associated with best practices and opportunities for interdisciplinary integration for end-of-life issues and is planning a symposium for spring 2015. The Healthy Lifestyles Committee (HLC) was renewed for funding for the 2015 Michigan Health and Wellness 4 x 4 Grant. Through the 4 x 4 grant, the HLC is working to increase access to physical activity opportunities, work with local restaurants to highlight healthy menu items, and engage worksites to adopt new policies related to health and wellness. The Mental Health Partnership Council worked to advocate for availability and equality for mental health patients. This year, hundreds of people attended presentations dealing with numerous mental health issues.

  • Sparrow Health Systems - NETWORK PLAN
    Sparrow Health Systems - NETWORK PLAN 1. Goals and objectives of the proposed network Located in Lansing Michigan, Sparrow has been offering quality health services to the region since its opening in 1896. Sparrow was created when the Women's Hospital Association set out to bring critical medical services to Lansing. Sparrow has two Lansing campuses, Sparrow Clinton Memorial Hospital in St. Johns, Sparrow Ionia Hospital in Ionia, and an affiliate hospital, Carson City Hospital. The health system has dozens of satellite care centers. Sparrow Hospital operates as a short-term acute care, not-for-profit organization. In total Sparrow is licensed for 680 beds and discharges over 30,000 people annually. The goal is to connect all the remote sites to the hospital's information systems to provide a central source for patient information. Connecting the clinics to the hospital's network allows the clinics to access all of its resources including primary EMR applications, current and NextGen information services. The long-range vision of Sparrow Health Systems is to enable a set of standard telehealth connection services that will interconnect throughout the region and facilitate any healthcare location in the nearby state to share one or more telehealth services with any other healthcare location in the regional and ultimately to share on a national level. 2. Strategy for aggregating the specific needs of health care providers (HCPs), including providers that serve rural areas, within a state or region Most of the remote clinics are small, so providing a separate EMR application for each site would not be cost effective, and would make the sharing of this information with other health care providers difficult.
