Purpose:

To lead and collaborate in the reduction of disease risk, promotion of mental health and well-being across the lifespan, and to treat and help individuals with mental illness and substance use disorders achieve their highest potential.

For more than 35 years, the Michigan Primary Care Association (MPCA) has been the voice for health centers and other community-based providers in Michigan.

Today, 45 health center organizations provide quality, affordable, comprehensive primary and preventive health care for more than 680,000 Michigan residents at more than 300 sites located in both rural and urban communities across the state.

Mission:

To advocate for and enhance comprehensive, accessible, innovative, and affordable community-based health services while influencing and advancing health policy at the state and national level.
