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. More: Port Huron cancer center marks 10 years, 7,500 patients Watchman is a minimally invasive procedure intended to reduce stroke risk in eligible AFib patients and may allow some patients to stop taking long-term blood-thinning medication, which can carry risks of complications. "Reaching 50 implants this quickly shows how much our community needed this program and this level of cardiac care close to home," John Brooks, McLaren Port Huron chief medical officer, said in the announcement. "Before Watchman was available here, patients looking for an alternative to long-term blood thinners would have needed to travel outside St. Clair County. Fifty patients have now received that care in their own community, near their families and support systems, and that tells us

Voters elected one incumbent and one newcomer to St. Clair County Community College's Board of Trustees Tuesday. Three candidates ran for two seats on the board, with Board Vice-Chair John Lusk being unseated by former Port Huron Mayor Pauline Repp. Trustee Robert Mitchell, who joined the board after winning a special election in 2024, also won a full term in the election. "Thank you to everyone who voted for me in yesterday’s election," Repp said in a statement on her campaign's Facebook page. "I appreciate your support and look forward to being a member of the SC4 Board of Trustees." Repp's win represents a return to public office following her upset defeat by Anita Ashford in the 2024 Port Huron Mayoral election. Repp won 27,808 votes, the most of any of the three candidates.

McLaren Port Huron acquires Northpointe OB/GYN to expand care

After years of declining access to obstetric and gynecological care in St. Clair County, McLaren Port Huron is working to rebuild the number of physicians serving local patients. The hospital acquired Northpointe OB/GYN in October 2026, the county's only full-service obstetrics and gynecology practice, with plans to recruit additional physicians and expand access to women's health care. The practice, now operating as McLaren Port Huron Obstetrics and Gynecology at 1206 Washington Ave., has four OB/GYN physicians and one nurse practitioner, compared with eight physicians who previously served the area through two practices. Dr. John Brooks, McLaren Port Huron's chief medical officer, said the hospital hopes to eventually restore the number of local OB/GYN physicians to approximately eight. "We just lost a lot of access," Brooks said, referring to physician departures in recent years. For patients seeking a new provider, however, access remains limited. Hannah Collins, office manager at McLaren Port Huron Obstetrics and Gynecology, said the practice is temporarily not accepting new patients while completing its transition to McLaren. The office expects to resume accepting new patients around January 2027, although the timeline is tentative. Existing patients will continue receiving care. Local obstetric care has declined over several years In
