DETROIT — U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Rochester Hills, toured Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital in Commerce Twp. Rep. Stevens met with leadership from the Detroit Medical Center including Group CEO Dr. Anthony Tedeschi and Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital CEO Karima Bentounsi.

“Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital is one of the great assets we have in our region,” said Stevens. “It’s a beautiful campus, accessible and that’s how we want people to think about our hospitals. Everything Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital is doing is an effort to enrich our community.”

Congresswoman Stevens sits on the House Committee on Education & Labor (including the Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions), and the House Committee on Science, Space & Technology. On these Committees, Congresswoman Stevens works to protect access to health care, promote manufacturing, expand educational opportunity, stand up for workers’ rights, and increase investment in critical research and development. Her priorities regarding health care focus on fixing the Affordable Care Act, ending the medical device tax, allowing people aged 55-65 to buy into Medicare and lowering the costs of prescription drugs.
