Asbestos removal completed, original Cheboygan, Michigan hospital is being demolished
The original Cheboygan Area Hospital, built in 1942, is being torn down. Asbestos removal has just been completed, allowing the demolition to go ahead. Asbestos removal must be completed before a building is demolished or renovated to avoid releasing asbestos fibers into the environment when the structure comes apart. When asbestos products are broken or disturbed, microscopic asbestos fibers are released into the air where they can be inhaled and cause disease. Despite the demolition, community and staff honored the hospital’s 65th anniversary at the end of October, and a book has been published offering a pictorial history of the hospital.
