MSU Alumnae Team Up to Open Accredited Milk Bank

Expired

Babies, parents, and caregivers in Central and Southeast Michigan now have better access to donor breast milk thanks to Michigan State University alumnae Erin McGreal-Miller and Brittany Ganton.

Shared experiences motivated them to help open the state’s second milk bank; both pursued master’s degrees in public health (MPH) at MSU and chose to use donated breast milk to feed their babies.

A Healthy Partnership in Flint Includes Residents at the Table 

Expired

In a city like Flint, which has experienced public health crises that have eroded trust, public health efforts must give residents a seat at the table — and a voice. That’s what an expanded partnership between Michigan State University and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation sets out to do: involve residents at every step of creating solutions for a healthier future and a platform to impact change in areas they identify as a priority.

Everybody is Somebody: Violence is a Public Health Issue

Expired

Violence extends beyond the inner circle of relationships and affects all persons inside and outside of the family system, mentally, physically, and emotionally. The CDC puts it this way, “Living in a community experiencing violence increases the risk of chronic diseases, such as depression, high stress, anger, PTSD, and anxiety (cdc.gov).” However, when we live in safe communities where neighbors help each other, people are treated with kindness, dignity, and love. They are creating a sense of community where we all WIN.

Expired

A new statewide center led by researchers at Henry Ford Health + Michigan State University Health Sciences and Corewell Health will study ways to reduce an alarming number of pregnancy-associated deaths and complications, particularly among Black, Hispanic and rural residents.

Making Connections Online and In-Person

Expired

Sometimes it can be challenging to connect with fellow students in an online program. Master of Public Health (MPH) student Liz McCormick and Olivia Thomas (MPH '23) both decided to connect with their peers as quickly as they could. Since meeting virtually in their first class together, the pair navigated through the MPH program knowing they had each other’s back. Liz and Olivia talk about their public health interests, give advice to students, and more in this Q&A.

Air Quality Awareness Week

Expired

During Air Quality Awareness Week, the MPH Student Advisory Board will provide free events for members of the Flint community, who have been impacted greatly by inequitable environmental events. Planned activities on September 18th - 22nd include a webinar panel of experts and a day of service at the Flint Farmer’s Market.

Graduate Voice: What The Spartan Statue Means to my MSU Journey

Expired

"So, this is what it feels like," were the words I remember uttering as I looked at The Spartan statue. It marked the first instance I truly sensed the accumulated depths of emotions shared by countless previous graduates who had celebrated their accomplishments beside the iconic figure.

Faculty Voice: Cultivating a Supportive Breastfeeding Culture

Expired

Breastfeeding can be difficult. While women want to do the right thing (for themselves and their baby) and value the benefits received from breastfeeding, they are often left alone trying to navigate many obstacles related to and beyond simply breastfeeding.

Ideally, women would be supported throughout their pregnancy and postpartum – making their breastfeeding goals feasible. But this rarely occurs.

Michigan as a Model to Address Infant Poverty

New Rx Kids Program Funded by $16.5M in State Budget

Rx Kids, the nation’s first citywide prenatal and infant cash allowance program, receives approval of $16.5M from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant in the FY2024 Michigan budget to propel a healthy start for all Flint babies during the critical first year of life.

Pediatrics and Public Health: Training the Next Generation of Changemakers

On the way to the first day of her summer internship, Maya Wolock listened to Hillary Clinton interview Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha on a podcast. She couldn’t believe she was listening to her direct supervisor speak on a high-profile platform. “I gave myself a case of the first-day jitters,” Wolock said. Her nerves quickly turned to excitement after meeting her fellow interns and the faculty and staff of Michigan State University and Hurley Children’s Hospital’s Pediatric Public Health Initiative (PPHI) in Flint.
