Prices for common medical procedures at health care facilities in Wayne County vary widely, according to data from New Choice Health, a private company that encourages people to become smarter health care consumers.

About a dozen residents spoke Monday to the council, sitting as the Zoning Board of Appeals, most of whom were against the variance sought by St. John Providence Health System for the former Borders building in the Village.
City of Grosse Pointe council denied a variance request Monday by St. John Providence Health System for the former Borders building in the Village in a 5-2 vote. The healthcare system intended to buy the building, renovate and put about $5.4 million into it. The vote drew mass exodus from the standing-room only meeting. At issue is the amount of devoted retail space in the proposal, which is about 15 percent. The city's zoning ordinance requires 60 percent of buildings to be retail, allowing up to 40 percent as office space. The building at 17141 Kercheval Ave. formerly housed Borders Books, which closed in 2011 amidst bankruptcy proceedings by the now defunct Ann Arbor-based chain. It is 19,800 square-feet. Comments from the public …
