This legislation will help fund a critical needed expansion and continue to put Muskegon County on the map as a community committed to local innovation and the wellbeing of all residents."

There is growing interest in its replication, particularly as emergency federal coverage supports implemented during COVID‐19 expire. Through partnership with Trinity Health Muskegon, the model’s success has enjoyed national recognition as a proven solution to ensure as many people as possible in Muskegon County have access to affordable healthcare. Today, communities need solutions such as Access Health ‐ a unique and well‐tested model of coverage in Muskegon that the nation can embrace. From the June 2nd press release - " For over two decades, the Access Health plan has locally provided an affordable and robust coverage option for small businesses and their workers unable to access commercial coverage due to cost barriers. Access Health is so good at what they do, in fact, just recently new legislation was announced that puts the Access Health working model. Helping people find a path to healthcare that's effective and affordable and delivers quality results. As the focus and attention grows on this corner, so does the opportunity to reach people who might otherwise not get a chance to interact, and that includes those in need of the basics.Īccess Health saw the chance to not only duplicate the pantry they put in at their office Downtown, but to get to some folks that might not otherwise know about the service they offer. The US Café was born inside the Barney Maffett Place which is also the home office of Kaja's Flavor Packs and Overcoming Barriers which is a residential care organization for special needs adults. Kaja Thornton-Hunter and crew got to working on renovations, innovations, imaginations and plenty or perspirations to open a place that is rapidly becoming a new heartbeat in a neighborhood who's days of having a finger pointed at it are rapidly coming to a close. It was an old grocery store that someone saw through a very different lens and said "this has a new chapter in it", and so it began. We were first invited to the Barney Maffett Place before it even became what it is today. Well, it must have caught on because in only a matter of weeks another one is popping up in another neighborhood and the placement couldn't be better, it's where the action is right now in Muskegon Heights, The US Café at the Barney Maffet Place. The staples can be found in it through the good donations of others in the community who might have a little more, or who might understand what it is to have nothing and be willing to give. It was only a few weeks ago when we dropped into Access Health in Muskegon to talk about the new mini pantry they were placing for those in need just outside their office in Downtown Muskegon.
