  1. The building is still there, right?

    Man... osteopathic hospitals. They're crazy, right? I used to think every town had an osteopathic hospital, Haven't run across to many.

  2. Apparently, Michigan and Oklahoma have the highest number of osteopathic physicians per capita.
    Can anybody explain the difference between an MD and a DO?

  5. The old FOH is still standing. Genesys ran an ER and sleep lab there for several years. I was a patient financial advisor there during that time. Last I hear, the building is out of code and needs serious remodeling. I'm pretty sure McLaren Hospital purchased the site.

Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.
