News and Events

At 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 30, the sun reappeared and the fun began at the Clarkston Medical Building Community Open House. For the more than 3,000 members of the community who attended, it was an afternoon of pride in the state-of-the-art facility and world-class physicians (more than 125 to date) and staff now centered at the Bow Pointe Drive location. The entire campus was energized with music, entertainment, clowns and face painters, and a tasty buffet that stretched on and on, prepared and served by McLaren Health chefs and staff. A special thank you to the local community groups like the Clarkston Boosters who served over 1600 hot dogs, Clarkston High School robotics - Team RUSH and the Clarkston Community Band who performed and earned donations to their organizations.

Clarkston High School Band leader Mike Lewis strikes up the band for a celebratory performance.  Team RUSH, Clarkston High School students showed off their award-winning robot. Hundreds of children enjoyed their uniquely painted faces. And, Make the Change, with lead singer Max Baker, rocked out the afternoon.

Guests ventured across to the Garden of Healing and Renewal for smoothies and a walk among the greenery and fountains. From there, it was just a few more steps to the Great Lakes Cancer Institute, where guided tours and a Mediterranean buffet awaited.
