Patients in our community rely on the generosity of host coordinators and blood donors to maintain an adequate blood supply.

For an appointment, please call 1-866-642-5663 or click HERE to make an appointment online. Your donation could save up to three local patients, thank you for your generosity!

Luncheon Lectures: The Other Bridge
April 30
12-1pm
The Mackinac Bridge gets all the publicity, but the International Bridge in Sault Ste. Marie, which opened in 1962, is equally important to our state as it connects us with our Canadian neighbors to the north. Before the pandemic lockdown, 7,000 vehicles a day crossed the bridge to and from Sault, Ontario. Peter Petainen, general manager of International Bridge Administration, explains the bridge’s history, its importance to international trade and some very interesting details about the two-mile span.

COVID-19 Vaccination Promotion |
|
I am reaching out to you today to provide resources to our local business community regarding the availability of COVID-19 vaccines. The Health Department of Northwest Michigan is excited to now be vaccinating anyone 16 and older, but we know that there are residents in our counties that may not be ready for vaccination, not know they are eligible, or may not know exactly where to go or what the process looks like.
We plan to also distribute THESE window clings. The chambers and businesses can share this graphic on social media, place a print version on cash registers or counters or near other flyers, in addition distributing window clings that can be placed at key locations throughout stores or businesses. This FLYER you can distribute via print or social media.
We will be printing and sending the window clings to you. Your action is requested. Please send your mailing address to l.johnson@nwhealth.org ASAP so the window clings can be mailed directly to you.
