The Michigan chapter of the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses was formed in 1977. Subsequently the Southwestern chapter and the Southeastern chapter were formed in an attempt to meet the needs of rehabilitation nurses throughout the state.

In 2004 these two chapters merged to form MI-ARN, the Michigan chapter of ARN as it exists today.

MI-ARN seeks to facilitate state-wide involvement by: providing educational programs at various locations throughout the state; producing four or more Newsletters each year mailed to all members; and providing up to date information using this web site.

MI-ARN's members work in a variety of practice settings, including:

• Hospitals and outpatient clinics
• Rehabilitation facilities
• Subacute and long term care facilities
• Home Health Care
• Case management and consulting organizations
• Educational settings
