The Healthy Kids, Healthy Futures campaign ran from July 1st through August 31st. The purpose of the campaign was to help keep children healthy by promoting well child visits. A well child visit is instrumental in the early detection of problems that could impact a child’s future.

After reviewing the focus population lists for UPHG and UPHP separately, populations were divided into two categories: Family Practice and Pediatrics (only). The winners are as follows:

• UPHG BCBSM Family Practice Winner: Keweenaw Bay Indian Community (KBIC)
• UPHG BCBSM Pediatrics (only) Winner: Upper Great Lakes (UGL) Hancock Pediatrics
• UPHP Medicaid Family Practice Winner: Helen Newberry Joy (HNJ) Gibson Family Health Center
• UPHP Medicaid Pediatrics (only) Winner: Mackinac Straits Health System (MSHS) Pediatrics

Winning practices received their gifts last week. The gifts are meant to be utilized as a way to celebrate staff and provider efforts in promoting and rendering well child check-ups to the children in the U.P!
