In recent years, some southwest Michigan counties have struggled to reduce infant mortality rates, including in Calhoun County. Recently there has been reason to feel efforts have begun to pay off.

Coming up on Tuesday's Richard Piet Show on WBCK, local leaders from Bronson Healthcare, Calhoun County and Grace Health talk about what might be at play. Hear the discussion at 8:08 a.m. on WBCK.
