CARO Tuscola County residents continue to receive praise for the high number of signups for the organ donor registry.
Stephanie Sommer, who is with the Gift of Life Michigan Registry for Organ Donation, sent a special letter to Tuscola County in recognition of residents participation.
“Tuscola County continues to be exemplary in supporting organ and tissue donation, Sommer said. In 2020, Tuscola County had six donors ranging in age from 34 to 81.”
There were also 82 referrals.
For individuals on the donor registry, referrals means Gift of Life can work with families to honor their loved one’s donation decision.

UPPER THUMB Too little too late is Tuscola County commissioners’ stance toward the company that previously provided medical examiner services now being willing to work on a solution, as the county is moving to a new service.
During the last county meeting, Michigan Institute of Forensic Science and Medicine was once again at the forefront of discussion for more than an hour as the company pitched the county reasons to stay with it.
Both Doctors David Stockman and Russell Bush have weighed in on how they feel MIFSM provides superior service, has better credentials, and they said they are willing to work with the county to keep it as a customer.
