Targeting community concerns to achieve optimum health for all people in Calhoun County.
The Coordinating Council (TCC) of Calhoun County is the Community Collaborative Body of Calhoun County for the State of Michigan. Community Collaboratives (also known as Multi-Purpose Collaborative Bodies-MPCB’s) were created to put funds and fiscal decisions in the hands of the local community.
Local Community Collaboratives take responsibility for the direction and coordination of local, state and federal sponsored enterprises. Additionally, Community Collaboratives link with other collaborative groups to address specific needs in the community. This is accomplished through the development of community wide initiatives, avoiding duplication of services, maximizing available resources, implementing community plans designed to meet a specific outcome, and monitoring progress. TCC has been in existence since 1989.
Members of the collaborative represent a variety of organizations across the county including non-profit, education, health, public safety, for-profit, local businesses and community members. These individuals and organizations work collaboratively to positively impact the lives of all members of Calhoun County.
