The Greater Detroit Area Health [GDAHC] was founded and incorporated on August 14th, 1944, as the Detroit Hospital Council. The primary goal of the Detroit Hospital Council was to improve the management of community health resources citywide by providing health facility planning to hospitals. Today, GDAHC is the nation's longest-standing multi-stakeholder collaborative dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of the diverse communities of southeastern Michigan. Our work expands across the 7-counties that make up the region, and in some cases the state and nation. GDAHC is southeast Michigan's premier health care coalition. We leverage multi-sector and multi-stakeholder collaboration to develop and evaluate innovative ways to improve health and wellbeing. As a health care leader for 75 years, GDAHC has been recognized regionally and nationally.

Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit was founded in 1992 by Rick Sperling, a professional actor and director. Sperling was inspired to start Mosaic when budget cuts forced most Detroit schools to eliminate arts programs. Through his experiences as a guest artist in the Detroit Public Schools he had witnessed both incredible talent and the incredible need for advanced arts training. As Mosaic progressed over the years, Sperling and his staff observed that participation in program was yielding significant youth development outcomes. In particular, they saw that Mosaic’s insistence on high expectations, active participation and total acceptance of each individual had led to an extraordinary percentage of Mosaic alumni not only graduating from high school, but attending college.
