Michigan Tech has entered into a community health partnership with the Portage Health Foundation.
The partnership combines both organizations’ missions, existing strengths and financial resources to create a collaboration focused on improving the health of the community.
Michigan Tech President Glenn Mroz announced the partnership at the University’s Board of Trustees meeting on Thursday.
The partnership will include three endowed professorships at Michigan Tech, health research, and health scholarships, internships and fellowships.
Portage Health Foundation will invest $2.5 million over five years, with the University investing approximately twice that amount.
