Overview
On April 23, the Michigan Primary Care Association will be hosting its annual 2024 MPCA Legislative Forum in-person in Lansing. This is a great opportunity for health centers to share their compelling mission and challenges, and discuss key policy priorities with legislators. This year’s Forum will be held at the new Heritage Hall located inside the Michigan State Capitol.
Heritage Hall, which is located inside the Michigan State Capitol, is new and opened in November 2022. If you’ve never been to Heritage Hall, you can take a virtual tour here, as well as hear some of its history. At the 6:29 mark, you’ll be able to view the area where our Forum will be held.
