MiCHWA was looking to enhance our membership by creating a membership benefits package for our Community Health Workers! We hoped to achieve this by partnering with local, regional, and national businesses to provide discounts and coupons on a variety of things. Our 2021-2022 MiCHWA Intern, Bethany Shay, created a survey to get a better understanding of the wants and needs of our CHWs.
Thanks to her tireless efforts, we are proud to announce a new partnership with the Detroit Zoo and Working Advantage to provide our CHW's with great membership prices and discounts.
*To learn more about these perks or project please email us at info@michwa.org*
