Free Oral Cancer Screenings

The Karmanos Cancer Institute at McLaren Port Huron is hosting free oral cancer screenings on Sept. 15 from 1 to 4 p.m.. Oral cancer, Michigan’s fastest-growing cancer with over 54,000 annual cases, can affect anyone and often shows no early symptoms. The painless, five-minute screenings can detect pre-cancerous tissue, and anyone with abnormal results will be referred to a nurse navigator for follow-up care. Risk factors include tobacco, alcohol, sun exposure, and certain demographics, making early detection crucial. Appointments are required and space is limited.

Police Donate Cruiser

Port Huron Police have donated a patrol cruiser to kick off a new public safety program at the St. Clair County Technical Education Center. Starting this fall at Woodrow Wilson Elementary near the city’s Central Fire Station, the program will give high school juniors and seniors hands-on experience in law enforcement, firefighting, emergency response, and dispatch. The cruiser will serve as a “classroom on wheels,” teaching students vehicle inspection, communication systems, and law enforcement technology as they prepare for future public safety careers.
