An Invisible Shield: Protecting Access to Vaccination

Expired

In an undergraduate microbiology lab, I first learned how vaccination works – a lesson that went beyond antigens and antibodies. We explored how vaccines defend the body and how they've shaped population health over time. It was the first time I truly grasped the impact of vaccination, not just as a personal health measure, but as a powerful public health tool. In that lab, I gained a new perspective on vaccination as a form of infrastructure.

People in Flint are concerned about elevated cancer rates, particularly multiple myeloma, and possible links to environmental exposures where they live, work, and play.

The plug-and-play program has since expanded to the cities of Kalamazoo and Pontiac, and to the eastern Upper Peninsula counties of Chippewa, Schoolcraft, Luce, Alger, and Mackinac with plans to expand to more communities throughout 2025.

ROSE Program Cuts Rates of Postpartum Depression in Half While Saving Money

Expired

Imagine you’re a new mom, sleep-deprived and home alone with your baby. It’s been over a month since you gave birth and you thought you would start to feel better by now: not just physically, but mentally.

Your relationships with your partner, family, and friends have shifted since the baby arrived and you’re not sure who to ask for help. If you needed help, it would be offered, right? The lack of help probably means you should have it covered on your own.

2 Million Reasons to Care About Rural Public Health in Michigan

Expired

Living in a rural community in Michigan offers unique experiences, from exploring densely forested hiking trails to enjoying the vibrant fall colors and miles of freshwater shoreline. These are just a few of the wonderful experiences that make up being a Michigander or a Yooper if you are from the Upper Peninsula (U.P.). However, rural living also presents distinct challenges, particularly in the realm of health care.
