Lieutenant Governor’s “Made it in Michigan” Tour Includes Stop at SVSU
|
Michigan Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist visited campus on Thursday, July 6 as part of his “Made it in Michigan” tour, which is intended to highlight efforts to reduce the cost of higher education and increase the number of nurses in Michigan. SVSU’s ADN-BSN partnerships with community colleges contribute to this effort.
Gilchrist met with SVSU President George Grant Jr., students and faculty during a tour of the College of Health & Human Services facilities.
"We know that we have had a need for more and more health care professionals — and nurses in particular — especially in northern Michigan," Gilchrist said. "SVSU has played an important role in helping to fatten that pipeline to get more people into more communities."

SVSU Receives $2.6 Million to Address Behavioral Health Care Needs in Rural Michigan
|
With a $2.6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Health Resources & Services Administration, Saginaw Valley State University will collaborate with Northern Michigan University to enhance behavioral health care in rural northern Michigan, especially the Upper Peninsula.
Over the next four years, SVSU will receive $650,000 per year through the Advanced Nursing Education Workforce program to partner with NMU to expand educational opportunities for advanced practice nurses. Through the BRIDGE UP program, SVSU will offer its psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner program in collaboration with NMU. Through the grant funding, 31 part-time nurse practitioners annually can participate in a psychiatric mental health traineeship that reduces the cost of their education by nearly 85%.
“This innovative collaboration between Saginaw Valley State University and Northern Michigan University will bring vital resources and support to underserved populations,” said Kathleen Schachman, Harvey Randall Wickes Endowed Professor of Nursing at SVSU. “By expanding educational opportunities for advanced practice nurses, we aim to bridge gaps in patient care and empower nurse practitioners to meet the specific needs of their communities.”
