“We are proud to align ourselves with community organizations that are working to address gaps and barriers in clinical, behavioral health, and social care services in our Lakeshore communities,” said Michael Ramsey, Community Health Improvement Coordinator, Trinity Health West Michigan. “We are confident these dollars empower, enhance, or expand projects and programs that benefit those who need it the most.”
The $75,000 in grants were awarded through the Sister Simone Courtade Fund, which was created to support, strengthen and sustain Trinity Health’s organizational mission to serve the most vulnerable by addressing social needs, connecting social and clinical care, and reducing health inequities.
“By strategically investing grant dollars in trusted community-based organizations, we are extending our reach beyond the walls of the hospital to support organizations possessing the relationships and community trust necessary to implement solutions directly aligned with our identified CHNA priorities,” said Michelle Gravlin, Director of Community Health & Well-Being, Trinity Health Muskegon, Shelby and Grand Haven. “Through intentional community impact grant funding, shared accountability, and measurable outcomes, we are transforming identified community needs into collective action and sustainable community impact.”
The Community Impact Grants program launches each October, and award cycles follow the calendar year. Application information for the 2027 award cycle can be obtained by contacting Michael Ramsey at Michael.Ramsey@trinity-health.org.
