Founded by Dr. Jawad Shah in 2008, Insight Institute of Neurosurgery and Neurosciences provides clinical services to patients in Genesee County. What began in the former GM HQ (Great Lakes Technology Center) in Flint with one neurosurgeon and a staff of four has grown to over 1,200 employees and expanded to campus locations in Chicago, Dearborn and Warren, MI. In the fall of 2024, Insight will expand once again – this time, adding a new building and services to the Flint facility.

After nearly 56 years on this planet, I think I may have finally figured out the whole “New Year” thing. I do not make resolutions – at least not any that impact my waistline. I will not keep them.  An anniversary, my birthday, Arbor Day – some celebration will come up and all will be lost. I will then find myself defeated and adrift in a sea of guilt.

It’s that time of year when we all want comfort food, but feel like we should be eating healthier. At the farm, there isn’t a lot growing actively at this time of year, so we supplement some of our lack of veggies in Michigan with microgreens. They’re very easy to grow from seed at home and can be grown year-round indoors, regardless of climate.

Looking Back, Moving Forward

I’m always excited about the possibilities and opportunities a new year promises to bring, but I also like to look back and reflect on the year that has passed. In 2023, there were many special things for me and some of my beloved family members to enjoy and celebrate.

Genesee County’s Ultimate 4th of July Guide

 

July Reading List

July is the perfect time to slow down, relax, and get lost in a good book. Whether reading on a porch swing, at the beach, or during a quiet summer evening, books have a unique way of improving the day. Reading reduces stress, sharpens the mind, and gives readers a chance to escape from daily pressures for a little while. In a season filled with busy schedules and constant screens, taking time to read can feel refreshing and calming — a simple habit that makes summer days more meaningful and enjoyable.

Vacation Mode

Lately, we have been trying to dip into vacation mode with a little more regularity. However, this has been met with no small amount of difficulty. With plane ticket prices so high, gas prices through the roof, and everything more expensive than it used to be, we have instead tried to find staycation opportunities closer to home.

EDITORS LETTERS

Editor’s Letter

Last month My City celebrated its 13th year as your local magazine, focused on covering all of the creative, artistic, successful, positive individuals and events of the greater Flint area. This month, I am celebrating one year with My City. The previous publisher and editor, Vince Lorraine and Sherron Barden, created a fantastic local magazine that was filled from cover to cover with interesting stories, and reputable businesses ready to take care of all of your needs. After leaving the newspaper business after more than 20 years, I stepped into this role with the new publisher, Laura Constable, knowing that we didn’t want to mess with a good thing. We, however, added a few new features that allowed us to showcase even more local people.

Editor’s Letter

Are you starting to feel the energy in the air? In our family, the month of May has always been busy. From celebrating Mother’s Day, my husband’s birthday and our anniversary — this year marks 42 years for us — to remembering our military service personnel over Memorial Day weekend, there has been a lot to do. And now, we’re throwing the sports schedules of two grandsons into the mix.
