Michigan Public Health Association

You’re invited!! Mark your calendars for Aug 19 2025 four our next MPHA Public Health Nursing Book Club. Everyone is invited.

Thank you Brandi for sharing your experience and this valuable testimony for Children’s Special Health Care Services (CSHCS)

Public Health Program Supervisor, Brandi Berry, knows Children's Special Health Care Services works—because it helped her family when they needed it most. As a mother of a child with a rare disorder, Berry was once a client of CSHCS. Her firsthand experience with the program's support inspired her to lead it, aiming to provide the same compassionate care to other families facing similar challenges. The CSHCS program offers medical care and treatment assistance for children with chronic, severe, disabling health problems. It provides service coordination to meet the unique needs of each child and family. Eligibility is determined based on the child's diagnosis, severity, and treatment plan, rather than income. The program may assist with costs related to specialist visits, specialized equipment, medications, and travel expenses associated with treatment. Berry's transition from a program beneficiary to its supervisor exemplifies the full-circle impact of CSHCS— highlighting its role in not only supporting families during challenging times, but also empowering individuals to give back to the community. This is #publichealth in action! ❤️
