Health Policy

The Institute for Health Care Studies (IHCS) is actively engaged in providing information and analysis on key areas of health policy to stakeholders and decision-makers.  IHCS is interested in the development of health policy at the national, state, and local level, with a special focus on the interaction of health policy and the provision of health care services in Michigan.
