2025 Community Health Needs Assessment
The Greater Flint Health Coalition, in collaboration with Genesee County’s three local hospital systems: Henry Ford Genesys Hospital, Hurley Medical Center, and McLaren Flint, as well as a collection of multi-sector and community stakeholders, including the Genesee County Health Department, is excited to announce the publication of the 2025 Community Health Needs Assessment report. This report outlines Genesee County’s most critical health needs and issues based upon data and information provided by community residents, health care consumers, health care professionals, community partners, and multi-sector representatives who participated in meetings of the Greater Flint Health Coalition’s network of community organizations and partners or responded to a community-wide survey of individuals and stakeholders who live and/or work in Genesee County.
As a result of the 2025 Community Health Needs Assessment, the Greater Flint Health Coalition will convene the three local hospitals to develop implementation plans that seek to individually and collectively address identified community health needs detailed within the assessment.
Empowering Health in Genesee County
The power of partnership lies at the heart of the Greater Flint Health Coalition – a broad cross-sector collaboration between Flint and Genesee County’s leadership including public health, physicians, hospitals, health insurers, safety-net providers, businesses, education, community-based organizations, non-profits, government, policymakers, labor, media, and local residents.

R.I.S.E. Program
The R.I.S.E. team, comprised of multiple community-based organizations, providers, and agencies, seeks to provide a comprehensive, holistic set of services including mental health support, peer recovery coaching, and care navigation for social determinants of health, based on each individual’s needs. These services are offered to individuals with mild to moderate charges being lodged at the Genesee County Jail while they are incarcerated and for up to 6 months upon re-entry. In addition to serving justice-involved individuals, the R.I.S.E. team will also serve their household to help the family heal together and increase the likelihood of long-term success for the incarcerated individual. R.I.S.E. collectively seeks to reduce recidivism, increase entry and adherence to treatment rates, and improve long-term health outcomes of justice-involved individuals and families.
