The Corner Health Center

Ypsilanti's own Corner Health Center has partnered with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services on their Child and Adolescent Health Center program for the past 30 years to provide physical and mental health care to Ypsilanti's youth. But a new opportunity from MDHHS is now allowing the Corner to take its services beyond their home and into the school system. Concentrate Media's Rylee Barnsdale talks about this new initiative with Corner Health Youth Leadership Council president, Hasini Anand.

The Corner Health Center in Ypsilanti has announced a new School Wellness Program at Washtenaw International High School and Middle Academy. WEMU’s Kevin Meerschaert has this report.

There are a number of health care issues we are dealing with: lack of affordable service for the uninsured, lack of affordable health insurance, inadequate adolescent health care and health education and a lack of people of color as health care providers. The Corner Health Center in Ypsilanti is specifically designed to address those issues. WEMU's David Fair spoke with the center’s executive director, Alex Plum, to find out what is working and what more needs to be done.

The Corner Health Center in Ypsilanti has been around for some four decades, providing health care and support programs for 12-25 year-olds who may not be able to afford the services otherwise. Now, the center is adding to its services to help young dads and parents of transgender or non-binary children. WEMU's Cathy Shafran and Concentrate Media's Rylee Barnsdale bring the story of the how the Corner Health Center is expanding its offerings with the center's community outreach and health education manager, Ashley Anderson.

The unveiling of a memorial mural, honoring those lost to gun violence in our community, will take place at 10am Saturday at Corner Health Center in Ypsilanti. In this second part of an anti-violence conversation, WEMU's David Fair sat down with three area residents: 16-year-old DeShawn Chambers is a 16-year-old student and it is his mural design that will be unveiled to. Artist Curtis Wallace is the one who actually created the memorial mural. And Mary Smith-Phillips is a grieving grandmother. Her 18-year-old grandson, LeRonte Benion-Phillips, will be among the names memorialized at the unveiling.

Gun violence is pervasive in America. Washtenaw County has more than its fair share. In the first of a two-part anti-violence conversation, WEMU's David Fair gets together with Community Violence Intervention Team members, sheriff's deputy Derrick Jackson and Washtenaw My Brother's Keeper project specialist Jamall Bufford.

February is Black History Month, and WEMU's "Washtenaw United" will take time each Monday throughout the month to explore issues of equity and opportunity in our community. This week, David Fair talks with Versell Smith, Jr., executive director of the Corner Health System in Ypsilanti. The theme of Black History Month this year is "Black Health and Wellness." They discuss why that theme is so important here in Washtenaw County and discuss the center’s project to highlight people of color that have historically made a difference.
