MARQUETTE Dr. Bob Lorinser will continue as medical director for the Marquette County Health Department.
Lorinser, who took over the reins as director in November following the resignation of Dr. Kevin Piggott, earlier this year had indicated he was resigning from the position.
However, in a Monday email to The Mining Journal, Lorinser said he plans to serve as director for “hopefully a long time.”
As of Sunday, though, he stepped down as medical director for the Western Upper Peninsula Health Department, the Dickinson-Iron District Health Department and Public Health, Delta & Menominee Counties.
What drove his decision to stay with the MCHD?

MARQUETTE It’s business as usual, at least for the time being, for area school districts.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Friday recommended a two-week suspension of in-person high school classes, all youth sports and indoor restaurant dining as a result of the statewide surge in COVID-19 cases.
In an online message to parents and guardians in the school district, MAPS Superintendent Bill Saunders said he has decided to keep Marquette Senior High School open for face-to-face education and continue with athletic participation until data indicates this is unsafe.
Saunders indicated the announcement came with little warning and didn’t allow much time to communicate with families. However, he acknowledged consulting with area school superintendents, the MAPS Board of Education and the Marquette County Health Department.
