This year, passengers will take a record 11 million rides onboard CATA buses. This is a remarkable level of use given the population base. PRSRT STD MAIL PRSRT PERMIT NO. 320 Over the last ten years, CATA ridership increased two and a half times. U.S. POSTAGE RAVENNA MI RAVENNA Even after bus fares were raised in April 2008, ridership continued its PAID dramatic rise. Passengers took nearly 20% more rides that same month compared with April 2007. Since August 2007, seven of the twelve months have shown double-digit increases in urban fixed-route ridership compared to last year. Dear Friend, It is an exciting time at the Capital Area Transportation Authority. The excitement comes from serving more people in our community than ever before. Many people are boarding our buses who are using CATA for the first time. They use our services as a way to avoid high gas prices and to help stretch household budgets. People who have used our services for some types of rides over the years are now riding more often as a way to save money.

  • 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.

  • 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.
