First Black chief of neurosurgery at Children’s Hospital of Michigan paves the way for others
DETROIT – She spent her career breaking glass ceilings, but Dr. Alexa Canady didn’t realize the impact she had for a while as the first Black chief of Neurosurgery at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. And I realized that it changed their perception of what was possible for them and that is really the most important part,” said Dr. Canady. Canady spent her career caring for chronically ill children. Her longtime colleague Dr. Neena Marupudi, a pediatric neurosurgeon, says Dr. Canady had an undeniable impact on patient care. And decades before the pandemic Dr. Canady was paving the way for every Black and brown doctor who came after her.

A look at Alex Trebek’s most memorable ‘Jeopardy!’ moments
DETROIT – As Alex Trebek’s final episodes of “Jeopardy!” air all this week we are taking a look back on the career that made him a true television icon. With more than 9,000 shows recorded, Trebek had plenty of memorable moments over the decades. For those unfamiliar with “Jeopardy!,” Trebek presented himself as scholarly, serious, reserved -- all business, but he was really a down-to-earth person who had a bit of a wacky sense of humor. There were a few unexpected events over the years on “Jeopardy!” -- even a handful of wedding proposals. Even at age 80 and in stage 4 pancreatic cancer, Trebek brought optimism to the show ever day.
