Database update

Michigan Go Local now has 1500 approved records in the database. Our staff is currently working on entering records for all the hospitals and health systems in the state. These records are our top priority as we work toward making the database publicly available later this year. Stay tuned for further updates.

Conference presentation

Annette Healy and Linda Draper were invited to give a workshop on Michigan Go Local at the Michigan Association of Community Mental Health Boards Winter Conference (www.macmhb.org) on February 28, 2006 in Lansing, Michigan. The workshop included a description of Michigan Go Local, project status, project priorities, information on how to submit an organization for inclusion and a preview of how Michigan Go Local will look and work when it becomes publicly available later this year.
