The health of our community is not to be taken for granted. Lenawee County, Michigan, is proud to have two outstanding hospitals, Bixby and Herrick, and a plethora of healthcare providers that are in the ProMedica network. We are also in close proximity to extended and specialized services in Ann Arbor, Jackson, and Toledo.
