ANN ARBOR – Starting on Friday, Michigan Medicine will enact heightened restrictions on visitors as COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations surge across the state.
Similar to its restricted visitor policy in the early months of the pandemic, no visitors will be allowed for adult patients, unless medically necessary.
Chief medical officer at Michigan Medicine, Jeffrey Desmond, said the measure is being taken to reduce the risk of spreading the virus to hospital patients and staff.
Ruth Ellen Hartwell Rossow Written by Los Altos Town Crier Report
When a loved one dies, we must ultimately let go of their hand. On Monday March 8, 2021 we let go of the hand of our family matriarch, Ruth Ellen Hartwell Rossow, and placed her hand in the loving care of her Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ruth was born at home on November 25, 1926 in Omaha, Nebraska. A child of the Depression, she excelled at finding fun - paper dolls cut from newspapers, a bicycle (won in a contest), her cherished Shirley Temple Doll, Nancy Drew books, and Camp Fire Girls. She loved riding the city bus – a love that endured throughout life.

ANN ARBOR – Paul DeWyse was known only to the public as “Wayne County man with history of domestic travel” after he became Michigan Medicine’s first confirmed COVID patient last March.
The Livonia man, who had received a double lung transplant in 2018, said he was told in the hospital that there was a 99.9% chance he didn’t have the virus that was rapidly spreading across the world. When his test came back positive for COVID-19, doctors were stumped.
