Today, HHS announced the funding of the final two new Beacon Communities: Greater Cincinnati HealthBridge, Inc., in Cincinnati, and Southeastern Michigan Health Association in Detroit. These new communities will join 15 others across the country in helping to demonstrate how health information technology can improve the quality and efficiency of health care for communities and individuals.

Efforts at Greater Cincinnati HealthBridge will focus on pediatric asthma and adult diabetes care. The Southeastern Michigan Health Association will focus on diabetes care and prevention.
