A Sparrow Hospital official says a new alliance with the Mayo Clinic will benefit the community.

The Common Ground Music Festival is made possible through the work of many sponsors, including Sparrow Health System in Lansing.   The organization is actively working on a plan to assess and treat the health needs of thousands of people across six counties in Mid-Michigan.  Last year, the organization joined forces with one of the world’s most prestigious names in health care, the Mayo Clinic. 

Current State’s Kevin Lavery spoke with Sparrow’s Health and Wellness program manager Leslie Polack.
