Give rural hospitals a fighting chance | Opinion

Last year, Sturgis Hospital celebrated a milestone few community institutions ever reach: 100 years of serving rural Michigan. A little more than 15 months later, it closed for good. For the residents of the surrounding community, the closure means longer ambulance rides, fewer options for medical treatment, and potentially life-threatening delays in emergency care. The closure of Sturgis is hardly an isolated incident. Nearly 700 rural hospitals across the country are at risk of closure, including 260 facing immediate financial peril. More than 100 rural hospitals have shut their doors over the past two decades. Rural communities can't afford to keep losing access to essential medical care. What's needed are reforms that help independent rural hospitals remain competitive and expand access to affordable, high-quality healthcare. Running a financially sustainable rural hospital is often an uphill battle. Rural hospitals generally serve relatively small patient populations. Yet they still have to maintain expensive facilities, equipment, and staff to provide essential services around the clock. Compounding the problem, rural patients frequently bypass their local hospitals for lucrative elective surgeries, such as knee replacements. One study of rural hospitals in four states found that patients bypassed their local hospital for nearly half of elective

Sturgis schools weigh new bond after May rejection

STURGIS, MI – A three-part bond proposal to fund upgrades throughout the Sturgis Public Schools campus is being examined for consideration next year, months after a similar, $98 million request was nixed by voters. The board of education and district administrators on Nov. 6 and Nov. 9, discussed a potential $86.7 million proposal, one that could be broken into sections by academic and athletic priority. All told, the proposal in development would see a millage rate of about 6.95 mills. The matter is still in the discussion phase, but will need to be finalized by January to make deadline for a spring ballot measure, district officials said. More: Sturgis holiday events bring festive fun to downtown A potential first request, estimated at about $51.2 million, would seek funding for academic infrastructure, such as bathroom renovations, roof replacements, barrier-free access and security improvements, technology, library renovations, classroom renovations, parking, drives and site work. A second request would focus on reduced athletic complex upgrades at $9.2 million, including new LED stadium lighting, a new grandstand at the soccer field and soil remediation, a reduction of more than $12 million over May’s proposal.

Michigan DNR tackles invasive crayfish

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is investigating an infestation of invasive red swamp crayfish found in Cass County. While colder temperatures are slowing them down, state wildlife officials said the threat is not going away. Native to the southern United States, the crayfish become more active as temperatures rise. The DNR plans to assess the extent of the infestation next spring, when warmer weather makes the crayfish easier to detect. Kathleen Quebedeaux, fisheries biologist for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, said the state will have people in the field to learn more as they work toward next steps. "In the spring, we would like to go out and talk with nearby landowners to the found invaded sites, determine how widespread that invasion is in that site in Cass County, and that will kind of determine our options," Quebedeaux said. In September, two dead specimens were found in a private pond near Niles, marking the county's first confirmed detection. Red swamp crayfish have been prohibited in Michigan since 2014, and populations were first detected in the state in 2017. Residents can report suspected sightings and learn more at Michigan.gov/invasives . Invasive red swamp crayfish can damage aquatic vegetation, compete
