HOUGHTON, MI— Enrollment for Project Lifesaver is now open in Houghton County.
The Portage Health Foundation is funding wearable transmitters for individuals in the Western U.P. who are prone to wandering. Partner agencies, like the Houghton, Keweenaw, Ontonagon and Baraga county sheriff’s offices and Superior Search and Rescue, will have antennas to receive the signals when someone wanders.
All Houghton County deputies have completed training for the program. To enroll, email either jsaaranen@houghtonsheriff.com, cklein@houghtonsheriff.com, visit the Portage Health Foundation website at phfgive.org/projectlifesaver, or call the Sheriff's Office at 906-482-0055.
