At Munson Medical Center in Traverse City, their Comprehensive Stroke Center is the only one of its kind in Michigan. “Somewhat of a unique situation, but it happens where we got two strokes at the same time,” said Interventional Neurologist and Munson Healthcare Comprehensive Stroke Program Medical Director David Rosenbaum-HaLevi, M.D. Two stroke patients rushed to Munson Medical Center back in April 2024.

The college is thinking about developing the property, but some people in the neighborhood concerned with that idea have started a group to oppose it. The group, called ‘Neighbors for Nature’ said the land should be environmentally protected. Kim Grabowski, a member of the group, said they’re also calling for more transparency from the school. “We are willing to work with them. We would like them to get community involvement. It is a community college, and we would like more community input. But at this point, it feels like they’re just checking off boxes and saying, ‘Yep, we’ve had those meetings. Yep. We’ve done a survey,’” said Grabowski.
