CENTRAL MICHIGAN (WNEM) – Good morning and happy Tuesday! We hope you had a great start to the week. If you’re awake with us, here are five stories you should know.
1. McLaren Health Care announced that all radiotherapy units at the Karmanos Cancer Institute are operational as the company works to recover from yet another cyberattack. McLaren said patients whose appointments were rescheduled should expect a call to reschedule. McLaren also said that general practice and specialist practices are largely operational and patients can schedule appointments.
2. Bay City Public Safety Director Caleb Powell assures that emergency response times will not be affected by the closure of Fire Station No. 5 on the west side.
