CEDAR SPRINGS, MI – Cedar Springs Post Newspaper
A few weeks ago, The Post told readers about Cherry Health opening an office in Cedar Springs Public Schools, after receiving a grant to offer medical care and other services to students ages 10 to 21 and their younger siblings. The catch was that before they could see younger children, their older sibling had to be a patient, according to terms of the grant. Site manager and nurse Kristin Paliwoda called the Post last week to let us know that was no longer the case.
“We can now see children down to age 5 without them having an older sibling as a patient,” she explained.
Paliwoda said they had been petitioning the state about changing the requirement. She said it helped that all the students are on the same campus.
