Capital Area Health Alliance: CAHA

CARHIO     Committees    Testimonials    Officers

Working together to empower our community to achieve better health.

Founded in 1994, the Capital Area Health Alliance (CAHA) is a coalition of organizations, businesses, health care professionals and volunteers from Clinton, Eaton and Ingham Counties working together to empower our community to achieve better health.  That mission is realized through the ongoing process of assessing community need, using the expertise and dedication of dozens of volunteers who serve on CAHA subcommittees, and tapping community resources to address local health issues. 

The Capital Area Health Alliance has focused its attention on health care issues associated with access, quality and cost.  CAHA plans to continue its emphasis on these important issues  and recognizes the effectiveness of working on challenges together that no single organization can resolve or achieve on its own.  Often complex health problems facing the Capital Area do not have simple solutions and are too multi-faceted to be tackled by a single organization. 

As CAHA looks to the future, there are many opportunities for program development, organizational collaborations, partnerships and grant procurement.  Responses to CAHA’s various outreach activities, coupled with the strong participation on CAHA’s standing committees, indicate a deep commitment to working together to make a difference in our community’s health. 

If you would like more information about CAHA, would like to be on our mailing list, or would like to become a member of the organization please call us at (517) 282-4416 or e-mail us at” CAHealthAlliance@aol.com.  The strength of this Alliance is the people who contribute their time, talents, resources and expertise.  We appreciate your interest and encourage you to thoughtfully consider the contribution you can make to the health of our community.
