#TeamMoonsail was proud to support a statewide poll of 800 likely Michigan voters commissioned by CPAN — the Coalition Protecting Auto No-Fault. The results of the poll revealed that nearly 8 in 10 Michiganders do not believe their insurance company wants to save them money, and nearly two-thirds reject any plan to limit or eliminate medical benefits for accident victims. In fact, most residents in Michigan blame the high auto insurance rates on the state's lack of oversight and overcharging by insurance companies. We're thrilled to find that most Michigan voters support the bipartisan package of bills CPAN has been trying to get the Michigan legislature to consider for over a year.

This month, Sparrow Health System commemorated one year since the opening of the Herbert-Herman Cancer Center. The center has opened new doors in the fight against cancer and elevated the care that Sparrow provides to over 70,000 patients per year. It offers one of the largest clinical trial programs and the most advanced radiation technology in the region. #TeamMoonsail contributed to the outreach around the opening of this center and has loved watching it grow and thrive since!

Did you know that one of the most widely-used drugs in the fight against cancer was discovered at Michigan State University by NatSci researchers? Today, decades after its FDA approval, the licensing revenue from Cisplatin continues to support the MSU enterprise, allowing the university to fund innovative research that advances the common good with uncommon will. On August 3 and 4, join MSU NatSci to commemorate #40YearsOfCures and hear how the drug has evolved and is used today.

#TeamMoonsail is so excited to welcome Brianna Baker, who was part of the Moonsail North team as one of our first interns in 2015, and is now joining full-time as our Client Experience Specialist. Bri is a Michigan State University alumna with a degree in Advertising and Public Relations. She brings a wealth of experience in PR and client relationship management to #TeamMoonsail, but what we're most excited about is having her creative vision and innovative approach back at our HQ.

Bri recognizes the importance of human connection and enjoys learning the nuances and complexities each client brings to the table. In her free time Bri can be found attempting a new DIY project she likely found on Pinterest (not unlike the amazing, branded succulent she made, above!), exploring the beautiful state of Michigan with friends and family, (over)indulging in ice cream or giving her heart to the community through volunteering.
