Editor's note: We apologize for an error in the Sept 8, 2010 edition of the E-Path newsletter.
 
The article about the Wayne Children's Healthcare Access Program (WCHAP) prematurely reported that WCHAP has been funded.  The WCHAP pilot project has only been invited to submit proposals and is in the process of on-going engagement with foundations, the Michigan Department of Community Health, the Early Childhood Investment Corporation and others.  The Detroit Wayne County Health Authority is a strategic partner and is pleased to promote the development of the Children's Healthcare Access Program medical home model that has a proven return on investment in other states and the pilot in the Kent County Michigan.  WCHAP, which has the support of numerous state and local stakeholders, will impact more than 25,000 children in Detroit and Wayne County.  More information about WCHAP will follow in the October edition of the E-Path.  To learn more, contact Jametta Lilly, WCHAP Project Director or Teresa Holtrop, MD, WCHAP Medical Director at 313 871-3751 or email  jamettal@gmail.com.
 
The Detroit Wayne County Health Authority's mission is to coordinate efforts to meet the health needs of the uninsured and underinsured residents in Detroit and Wayne County by assuring access and improving the health status of all people.
