Mr. Tom Pirnstill, Manager of Clare County Transit Corporation, has been named a "hometown hero." Mr. Pirnstill, who together with his wife Paula founded the annual Paula Pirnstill Memorial Health and Safety Fair held in Farwell on the third Saturday of April each year, has been chosen to receive a 2015 Hometown Health Hero award.
Each year, Michigan Health Policy Champions honors individuals and organizations who have been “champions” for public health in the public policy arena in their communities and the state of Michigan. Michigan’s annual Hometown Health Hero Award recognizes the accomplishments of individuals and organizations that have gone above and beyond their normal duties to make a positive impact on the health of their local communities.
The presentation of the award will be held in the Capitol Rotunda in Lansing on April 15 at 11:30 a.m.
