WLEN News facilitated an exclusive interview with the President of ProMedica Bixby and Herrick hospitals, Dr. Julie Yaroch to talk about the concerns that many Lenawee County residents have with inpatient mental health care facilities with the new hospital being built on M52, north of the City of Adrian.
Tempers started to flare-up at the end of a town-hall-style meeting, with some individuals claiming that their donated funds are not being used for the purposes that they were told (inpatient mental health facilities). So, after the meeting on September 20th, WLEN News set up an interview, which was conducted a few days after. Here are the five stories leading up to a Community Conversation that was aired on 103.9fm WLEN Thursday, October 18th:
