Residents Speak Out on Clinics and Fluoride

St. Clair County’s Health Board heard hours of public comment Wednesday as residents voiced concern over closing school-based clinics in Yale, Algonac, and Capac and consolidating services to Port Huron. Many warned families without transportation could lose access to care, including vaccines and HIV testing. Fluoride in tap water also sparked debate, with supporters saying it protects dental health. No votes were taken, and unfinished issues will return at the next meeting, set for 9 a.m. Sept. 17th.
