Funding issues force Recovery Mobile Clinic to reduce days in Monroe
Funding and staffing issues are forcing Recovery Mobile Clinic to reduce services in all seven of the Michigan counties it serves, including Monroe. In February 2020, Jordana Latozas, an acute care nurse practitioner, started RMC. That June, she brought it to Monroe County. It began here largely with COVID testing and then COVID vaccines. Today, RMC offers services like Vivitrol injections for addiction recovery, outpatient detox support, medication refills, physician referrals, lab work, sexually transmitted disease (STD) screenings and wound care. Telehealth services include medicine refills, referrals and testing orders. "Monroe County was our very first partner. It was the vision of Pastor (Heather) Boone," Latozas said. "We are cutting back on days in Monroe because of funding and staff issues. In Monroe, we have to close two days a week. We were going to Oaks of Righteousness, Paula's House, Gemstone Recovery and Michigan Department of Corrections. (Now) we are in Monroe one day a week, just Tuesdays at the Salvation Army Harbor Light." Walk-ins are welcome from 2-3 p.m. Tuesdays at Salvation Army, 815 E. First St. in Monroe.

Wyandotte city and public works officials are pushing back on a local petition drive urging the city to look into moving its troubled municipal water system to the regional Great Lakes Water Authority.

The petition, at Change.org , urges the Wyandotte City Council to request feasibility information on connecting to GLWA infrastructure and the cost of services. "Wyandotte residents deserve to have all available information in order to make an informed decision on the source of their tap water," the petition states. The petition is organized by Ashley Satkowski, a resident in nearby Southgate who says she and her family are frequent visitors, shoppers and diners in next-door Wyandotte. Satkowski said she became engaged in water quality and environmental pollution issues Downriver
