Michigan residents must update their Real ID in person at a local Secretary of State office before May 7 so they can travel on domestic flights and access federal facilities.

The Leapfrog Group’s spring ratings show that 24 Michigan hospitals earned an A for patient safety while three Detroit Medical Center hospitals received failing marks.
The report, based on up to 22 safety measures, highlights the need for Detroit hospitals to improve patient care.
