“What we see probably the most of is orthopedic injuries, injuries to arms and legs; just basic lacerations and things like; some of the more things like drowning; injuries from trampolines and bikes that certainly can be a little more severe,” Dr. Whitney Minnock, the pediatric chief of emergency, said.

For more information, go to the WOOD TV8 segment.

As families spend more time outdoors during the summer, there may also be more opportunities for kids to be injured.

You may have heard this year's Julep Gala is sold out. Although we have filled all seats for the in-person race, we invite you to consider toasting with us from wherever you lay your fedora, bowler, fascinator or chapeau! Opportunities to support Corewell Health Foundation Pennock Hospital via partnership are still available – and they came with a variety of benefits.

With levels beginning at $750, your presence will be felt as our “partners from afar” with digital, name and logo recognition, plus verbal & signage recognition at the event.

And the best part? You’re still helping us build the Dr. Oscar and Cynthia deGoa Endowment for Parent Education and Child Well-Being. This new endowment supports vital parent and nursing education programs at the Corewell Health Pennock Hospital birthing center. These programs will enhance the care and services currently offered, while having a meaningful impact on the health and wellness of mothers, babies and families in our community. Reach out to Tamara Elhart at tamara.elhart@corewellhealth.org for more information!

Now cancer free, Kate shares this message: don't ignore symptoms.

Our deepest sympathies go out to the Baum family, after learning of the passing of Earlene Baum — a philanthropist who believed in making sure everyone in her community had access to world-class health care and the arts, no matter their circumstances.

Along with her late husband Larry, Earlene has greatly enhanced health care access in the Hastings community with her contributions, including dialysis, surgery, infant health and cancer care. Earlene's compassion and dedication will always be remembered.

Join us in honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who, in a sermon, wrote these words: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?” Please consider making a commitment of your time and efforts to further his vision of love and justice.

In 1994, Congress approved the King Holiday and Service Act, designating Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a National Day of Service. Your participation in local events and service opportunities not only celebrates Dr. King’s legacy but also reinforces our commitment to hope and healing.
