In February 2003, Governor Jennifer M. Granholm took an important first step toward revitalizing public health in Michigan by appointing Kimberlydawn Wisdom, MD, as Michigan's and the nation's first state-level Surgeon General to address Michigan's less than desirable health status. Dr. Wisdom will discuss Healthcare priorities in the State of Michigan.

Rose Khalifa RN, Transcultural Nurse focuses on the needs of culturally diverse patients and the development of programs within the Oakwood System to respond to those needs. She co-hosted "Ask Oakwood" an educational bilingual live television program in Dearborn.

 

Thanks to the commitment of Governor Granholm, we now have a new Office for Community and Faith-based Initiatives which was created to help build a stronger link between faith leaders and state government.
