After 2 years of receiving hospice care at home, Beth Powell made a decision rooted in both courage and love — she chose to move into the Henry Ford Hospice Home in Jackson. A fall had left her feeling unsafe at home, and after an open-hearted conversation with her sister, they both agreed it was time for a new chapter in her care journey.

“It wasn’t a sad decision,” Beth reflects. “I gave away my belongings to those in need, and I was happy to know my things were going to help others.”

Beth’s perspective on life — and death — was both grounded and inspiring. Read more about her story: https://bit.ly/4dspRLv

🚧 I-94 Business Loop water main project begins May 12 🚧

To ensure the integrity of the I-94 Business Loop, the Michigan Department of Transportation and the City of Jackson will replace the water main on Michigan Avenue/Glick Highway between Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and Waterloo Avenue, and on M-106 (Cooper Street) between I-94 BL and Pearl Street in Jackson. This water main work is part of the Cooper Street bridge replacement project already underway.

This project will require closing I-94 BL (Michigan Avenue/Glick Highway) from Martin Luther King Jr. Drive to Waterloo Avenue to install a new water main. Local traffic will be maintained on I-94 BL (Michigan Avenue) between Waterloo Avenue and M-106.
