Addressing HEALTH for Returning Citizens

Formerly incarcerated individuals—or returning citizens—face significant barriers in accessing healthcare and engaging in activities that promote health and wellness. Assistant professor Rodlescia Sneed is partnering with the MADE Institute, a community-based reentry program based in Flint, to address these issues thanks to a grant from the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation.

“Through our partnership with the MADE Institute, we will design and test a physical activity and nutrition model that, if effective, could be broadly implemented within community reentry programs around the country.”
