The St. Clair County Health Advisory Board voted Wednesday to back a staffing shift at the county health department. The plan replaces a nurse practitioner who’s leaving next month with a deputy physician assistant, a move aimed at keeping clinics running and reshaping leadership. Medical Director Dr. Remington Nevin says he’ll boost his on-site hours to help fill the gap during hiring, which could take three months. Officials say the change won’t raise costs since it refills an existing job. The proposal will be reviewed in early April.

A police chase through Sanilac County ended in a rollover crash Monday night. Deputies say they tried stopping a Ford Ranger around 8 p.m. near Cass and Main in Minden City, but the driver took off. The chase lasted about sixteen minutes through several townships before the truck lost control and flipped into a ditch in Austin Township. Fire crews freed the 48-year-old Minden Township man, who had minor injuries. After treatment at Deckerville Hospital, he was jailed on fleeing charges and several active warrants.
