Meals on Wheels drivers needed for holiday season

I can’t believe it’s that time already, but our fourth annual State of the County Address is taking place in just a couple of weeks – on Dec. 3!

I sincerely would like to invite each and every one of you to attend. All of you have played an instrumental role in the success of Macomb County. We will be recapping what a great year 2014 was as well as looking forward to what the next four years may bring.

The event is at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 3 (seating starts at 5:30 p.m.) at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts, 44575 Garfield Road, Clinton Township. Business attire is encouraged. After the speech, there will be the annual Taste of Macomb Afterglow where complimentary hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will be served by many of your favorite Macomb County restaurants. If you haven't done so already, please reserve a spot ASAP by clicking here. 

I hope to see you there! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Mark A. Hackel, Macomb County Executive

What are you thankful for?

With the holiday season upon us, it's natural to start reflecting on what we are most thankful for. Here's what some of our elected officials and department leaders had to say about the subject.

For more than 30 years, the Macomb County Health Department has offered the state- and locally-funded Family Planning Program.  Macomb County is the only health department in the region (besides the city of Detroit) with a Family Planning Program. The program makes available general reproductive health assessments, comprehensive contraception services, cancer screenings, related health education and counseling services plus referrals as needed to both men and women. Services are available regardless of financial status or residency, and program fees are determined by income and insurance coverage at little to no cost.
