The Michigan Moves Coalition, in partnership with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, is excited to unveil a pioneering approach to transforming Michigan into a beacon of physical activity through strategic collaboration and innovation. This exclusive online event is dedicated to outlining the roadmap for the development and implementation of a comprehensive Michigan Physical Activity Plan.
