  UNDATED - Michigan Technological University has entered into a community health partnership with the Portage Health Foundation.

Michigan Tech President Glenn Mroz announced the partnership at the University’s Board of Trustees meeting on Thursday.

The partnership will include three endowed professorships at Tech… health research… and health scholarships, internships, and fellowships.

Portage Health Foundation will invest $2.5 million over five years, with the University investing approximately twice that amount.

Kevin Store, executive director of the Portage Health Foundation, says the “partnership will contribute to a sustainable community of health, wellness, education and economic growth.”

He also helps manage Public Radio 90's web content, interviews local and visiting writers and artists, works with NMU student interns, and writes the occasional news story.
