GOGEBIC COUNTY - Seven community-based organizations and 10 individuals in the U.P. will share in just over $67,000 from Upper Peninsula Health Care Solutions, the lead organization of the Region 1 Perinatal Quality Collaborative. The grants are aimed at enhancing birth outcomes, reducing health disparities and addressing the cause of those disparities. The Gogebic-Ontonagon Great Start Collaborative is one of the organizations that will share in the grant. Requests for proposals were made through one-time funding received from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Katrina Keough, Upper Peninsula Health Care Solutions Assistant Director and Region 1 Perinatal Collaborative Lead says that funding will provide essential services to those mothers and their families, with a community centered approach that honors the process.
