Economic Strategy Session III

Economic Strategy Session III
Advancing Community Health & Economic Security
 

About the Event:

Join us for the third installment of Traverse Connect’s 2025 Economic Strategy Session series, where we’ll explore the intersection of healthcare access, economic stability, and mental health — three pillars identified in Munson Healthcare’s Community Health Needs Assessment Report, released every three years to guide our region’s priorities.

Our expert panel will discuss the findings of the report and share strategies for addressing these pressing community needs:

• Mental Health – Terri LaCroix-Kelty, System Director of Behavioral Health, Munson Healthcare

• Economic Security – Dan Buron, CEO, Goodwill Industries of Northern Michigan

• Access to Healthcare – Laura Glenn, Chief Operating Officer, Munson Healthcare

This session will provide valuable insights into how our healthcare and nonprofit leaders are working together to improve quality of life, strengthen community well-being, and create a healthier, more resilient Northern Michigan.
