During a recent government meeting, officials provided an update on the expansion of health hubs within local schools, highlighting significant progress and future plans. The health hubs, which have seen increased usage throughout the year, are set to expand to new locations including Denbigh, Mumford, and Martin Luther King Junior High School. Future additions will include Cody High School, Detroit Lions Academy, and Henry Ford High School, although implementation at Cody and Pershing will be delayed due to ongoing construction.

Officials reported that a third-party analysis is underway to assess the impact of these health hubs on student attendance and family engagement, with results expected in the coming months. This data will inform future expansions and philanthropic efforts. Funding for the health hubs is secure for the next three years, with an anticipated annual cost of approximately $1.6 million after that period. The Ballmer Group has expressed support for continued funding, ensuring the sustainability of these initiatives.

The meeting underscored the importance of these health hubs in addressing community needs and improving student outcomes, with officials optimistic about the long-term viability of the program. Further updates will be provided as data from the third-party study becomes available.
