The Michigan State Medical Society is committed to advancing health equity across the state. Through advocacy, education, and resource development, MSMS works to support physicians and practices in implementing inclusive care, reducing disparities, and improving health outcomes for every patient. MSMS also offers CME courses focused on health equity and implicit bias helping physicians expand their knowledge and apply best practices in equitable care.
Michigan State Medical Society Health Equity Roadmap for Change
In 2021, the Michigan State Medical Society (MSMS) made the elimination of health disparities and the advancement of health equity a long-term strategic priority. This commitment led to the formation of the MSMS Task Force to Advance Health Equity, which has guided actionable strategies to address racism, implicit bias, and structural inequities in health care. Supported by a W.K. Kellogg Foundation planning grant, MSMS launched the Partnering to Advance Health Equity initiative and convened three regional health equity summits in 2023 to foster collaboration, learning, and community partnership. Building on these efforts, MSMS is advancing a multi-year Health Equity Roadmap for Change to guide internal and external actions that promote equity and improve health outcomes for all Michigan residents.
