20 girls from Port Huron enjoyed a special trip to the Detroit Lions training camp in Allen Park last Tuesday. The Detroit Lions Community Initiative supplied bus transportation and partnered with A Beautiful Me and SONS Outreach to make it possible. Each girl received a backpack filled with school supplies, Lions sunglasses, a granola bar, and water before watching practice up close. Some met players for autographs and photos while the group also enjoyed face painting and Detroit Zoo giveaways.

In Port Huron, orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. Ryan Goodmanson and the McLaren Port Huron surgical team completed Michigan’s first spinal fusion using the Medtronic Stealth AXIS platform last week. The advanced navigation system delivers real-time 3-D visualization and precise guidance for implant placement while limiting disruption to nearby tissue. Local patients dealing with degenerative disc disease or spinal instability can now obtain this high-level care close to home instead of traveling elsewhere. The technology expands safer, more accurate options for the Blue Water Region.

Fans can watch the team begin its follow-up campaign Sept. 4th at the College of DuPage.
