Quantify Michigan’s True
Cost to the Community™

Why It Matters​

​

When funding disappears, Michigan counties lose more than programs — they lose proof of impact. AHP’s Cost to the Community™ shows what’s at stake and what can be saved by demonstrating the return on investment of prevention and intervention.

Analysis provides the fiscal evidence counties need to show why prevention pays and why public health deserves continued investment.

​

With this analysis, Michigan counties can:
• Quantify the cost of inaction vs. prevention
• Demonstrate fiscal ROI for board and funding discussions
• Strengthen state-level advocacy and budget requests
• Communicate public-health impact in dollars and outcomes​
