Introducing
Rev. Dr. William J. Danaher, Jr, Ecumenical and Interfaith Officer of the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan and Rector at Christ Church Cranbrook
|
Like many, Rev. Danaher came into faith through the process of transcending his own personal difficulties. As a teen, he says, he struggled with some depression and decided to try praying.
"I became aware that my life was a gift," says Rev. Danaher," and the best way to handle that gift was to give it back to God."

Share Find Mi Care
Help Community Find
Health Care Treatment
|
The Greater Detroit Area Health Council developed a website and mobile application called Find MI Care,
which was developed in response to the community need to receive better coordinated health care treatment in an appropriate setting.
This user-friendly website and mobile app can be used to search for and find clinics and doctors within a specified zip code. Hospitals, physicians, and clinic staff are able to print a list of clinics near the patient's home during the discharge process, and community groups can use this site to connect people to health care resources.
The website can be viewed at www.findmicare.org and the mobile app can be downloaded for free from either the Apple or Google Play stores.
Andrell Sturdivant, Program Coordinator for Find MI Care is available to attend staff meetings at other agencies to present Find MI Care. For more information, please contact: Andrell Sturdivant at asturdivant@gdahc.org or 313-963-4990, ext. 240.
Please share this information with anyone who may need or be able to share it.
