Health Care

Ottawa County has the most COVID-19 infections per capita in the Grand Rapids area. Due to this, Spectrum Health announced it’s bringing back some visitor restrictions to their hospitals and outpatient sites.

The Region 6 Healthcare Coalition has released a letter to residents warning that the health care system is being overwhelmed.

Health care is on everybody's mind these days. It's especially so if you're on Medicare or Medicaid. Even more so now that it's open enrollment time.

For the 10th year in a row, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan is helping to fund more than 50 free medical clinics across Michigan to help the uninsured get the care they need.

We in Grand Rapids and West Michigan are pretty proud of our health care system.  In many ways, it is becoming a "health care destination."  And now, that is being corroborated by the highly rated US News & World Report.

It's down to the final voting to see who will win a new Toyota Sienna Mobility Van, and Gerontology Network is this close to winning.  They just need your help.

So many times old people want to live in their own home but are not not capable of doing it without a little extra helping hand.  Well, Domincan sisters are stepping up to lend that helping hand in the way of care for in home seniors.  

1/11/11.  Nice way to open Helen Devos Children's Hospital.  Another reason west Michigan is the place to be.  Thanks to the Devos Family and the thousands of others who donated time and money to make it a part of our landscape.   If you visit, take time to notice the art work, the colors and the brightness of atmosphere...

Looks like we have another national landmark to be proud of.   We toured the new Helen DeVos Children's Hospital Sunday.  Very impressive.  Loved the attention paid to creating a "softer" looking place for kids.  Those of us who have spent time in the hospital with kids know it can be a very scary place...
