The end of a historical year will soon be upon us. Even as we continue to navigate the challenges that this year has brought, there is much for which to be thankful. It is my pleasure to connect with you on behalf of all of us at MiHIN, Velatura, The Interoperability Institute, and USQHIN to offer our warmest wishes for a safe, happy, and enjoyable time of celebration.  

2020 has been a period of significant challenge and personal hardship for the many organizations and people we serve. The MiHIN Group has only been able to successfully respond to the rapid change and growing demands because of the committed and collaborative relationships we are fortunate to share with our stakeholders in Michigan and across the nation. Thank you for the trust you have placed in us as we work together to enhance the experience, quality, and successful outcomes in the many public health, community, and healthcare delivery spaces in which we operate.  

As I reflect upon this past year, I am so very grateful for the opportunity to lead such a great team of passionate and determined individuals, and I am truly proud of our accomplishments over the last year. I am grateful for those serving on our boards and committees who give their time, talent, and wisdom to the stewardship of our multiple endeavors. I am also appreciative that our work and mission will continue into a new year and a more healthy and hopeful future.  

As we look toward 2021, you can expect to hear more from us, and I encourage you to contact us with your thoughts and suggestions on how we can better help you succeed. In the meantime, on behalf of all of us at The MiHIN Group, best wishes for a happy holiday season.
