Expectant mothers in the Blue Water Region will not have to leave Port Huron for pregnancy care after McLaren Port Huron took over full-service Northpointe OB/GYN. The office, now called McLaren Port Huron Obstetrics and Gynecology, will stay at its current location near the hospital campus with the same contact information and caregivers. Hospital leaders say demand for pregnancy care in the community is growing, so McLaren plans to recruit more doctors and providers to see more patients and families close to home.

A 36-year-old Lapeer County man, who was being taken to the hospital by ambulance, died after that ambulance was struck and rolled over in Sterling Heights. Police say the ambulance was heading south on Van Dyke Avenue with its emergency lights on around 6:30 when an eastbound SUV on Metro Parkway hit its right side. The paramedic riding in back suffered moderate injuries, and the SUV driver was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. Investigators do not believe impairment played a role.
