Ann Arbor Spark

Bank of Ann Arbor was founded in 1996 to serve our communities with the banking products and services of the largest national banks while offering access to the decision makers.  Over the years our advertising slogan, Bank of Ann Arbor helps, has come to represent how our team gives and cares for each other and our community. Each year, we help our community through hundreds of hours of work and thousands of dollars given to local nonprofits. We truly believe that being helpful—as opposed to constantly pushing a product of the day—is the far better way to go.

Energy is critical to our quality of life and economic progress. DTE Energy is relied upon 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days of the year to produce, acquire and deliver that energy, whether from traditional sources or from renewable and alternative technologies. That makes us, in a sense, a company that never sleeps. At DTE Energy we believe that we have a greater responsibility. We believe that being part of a community means being involved in the fabric of that community. It means being a force for growth and prosperity in the communities that we serve. The DTE Energy Foundation, the charitable arm of DTE Energy, is integral to that mission.

We formed IHA in 1994 with only a few independent private-practice groups from Washtenaw County, then over the years added physicians by choosing doctors that our own doctors used for their care and that of their families. Over a decade later, we continue to place great emphasis on selecting only premier physicians and practitioners to ensure that you get the best possible care. Today, IHA is one of the best not-for-profit multi-specialty groups in Southeast Michigan.
