Watchman program reaches 50 implants at McLaren Port Huron
McLaren Port Huron has completed its 50th Watchman implant, expanding a local option designed to reduce stroke risk for eligible patients with atrial fibrillation who may want an alternative to long-term blood-thinning medication. The milestone procedure was performed Oct. 27 in the hospital's cardiac catheterization lab, according to a community announcement. McLaren Port Huron launched the Watchman program in March as the first hospital in St. Clair County to offer the procedure for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, or AFib.

Construction underway on two sounds walls along I-75 in Oakland Co. Find out where
TROY — Construction is underway on two sound walls along Interstate 75 in Troy following years of complaints from nearby residents and businesses about excessive noise.

Construction started in April of this year, said Rob Morosi, a spokesman for the Michigan Department of Transportation, and will take roughly two years. It's expected to wrap up in the fall of 2027.
