Building a Roadmap for Michigan Veteran-Friendly Communities
The Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency (MVAA), in partnership with Altarum, created the first-ever “Veteran-Friendly Community” (VFC). This will give 562,000 Veterans better access to services and create a blueprint for other states.
Message from Our CEO – Max Entman
2025 was a year of tremendous change for Altarum and for other organizations across the public health landscape. Even in this uncertain environment, our commitment to doing work that drives measurable mission impact remains steadfast. The support we provide to our partners is even more important as they look to build capacity with constrained resources. The projects detailed in the 2025 Impact Report demonstrate the type of tangible results we deliver for our clients and the populations they serve.
Now in 2026, we are harnessing the power of emerging technologies to deliver flexible solutions that improve health outcomes for all. We are doing this with an audacious goal in mind—one I fully believe we can achieve: to meaningfully improve the lives of more than 100 million people by delivering innovative solutions.
I look forward to sharing the outcomes of these efforts in the years to come.
