In a neutral position, the human head places about 5 kilograms of force on the cervical spine. But when the head tilts forward to look at a phone, that load increases dramatically, reaching the equivalent of 27 kilograms at a 60-degree angle.

This excess pressure strains muscles, ligaments, and spinal discs, contributing to neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and long-term postural problems. Over time, repeated stress can accelerate disc degeneration, nerve irritation, and abnormal spinal curvature, a condition often called “tech neck.”

Experts recommend bringing screens up to eye level instead of lowering the head. This simple habit reduces spinal load, protects neck health, and helps prevent chronic pain linked to prolonged device use.

Dearborn Public Health awarded $101,570 grant to advance firearm safety and prevent injuries
Funding will support community outreach, education, and safe firearm storage initiatives

DEARBORN, MI — The City of Dearborn Department of Public Health (DPH) has been awarded a $101,570 grant from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) to advance firearm safety efforts across the community. The funding will support collaborative initiatives focused on promoting responsible firearm ownership, encouraging safe handling and secure storage practices, and reducing both unintentional and intentional firearm-related injuries.

Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud stated, “Firearm injury prevention is a public health and safety priority, reinforced by our Health in All Policies approach. Collaboration among public health, law enforcement, and academic partners allows us to promote safe practices, prevent injuries, and advance community health.”

Through this program, the Department of Public Health will partner with the City of Dearborn Police Department and other community stakeholders to implement data-driven community outreach and education efforts centered on firearm safety. The initiative will include distributing firearm safety kits—such as gun locks, lockboxes, and educational materials—to residents, helping ensure fi****ms are stored safely when not in use.

Ali Abazeed, Chief Public Health Officer for the City of Dearborn, stated, “Public health has a responsibility to intervene upstream, before injuries happen. This grant will support evidence-based education and access to safety tools that make responsible firearm storage easier and injuries less likely.”

City leadership emphasized that the initiative reflects Dearborn’s commitment to data-driven, collaborative programs and to building public health capacity through partnerships with academic institutions such as the University of Michigan School of Public Health.

“This award is a direct result of the talent pipeline we’ve built,” said Sara Elhasan, Public Health Advisor for the Department of Public Health. “Julia Ginter-Berriman, a firearm injury prevention fellow last year, produced rigorous, practice-ready work that directly informed and strengthened this grant proposal. Her contributions demonstrate the significant public health impact of investing in fellows.”

“Working alongside DPH allows us to engage residents through trust-based, prevention-focused outreach and provide practical resources that reduce risk before incidents occur,” said Issa Shahin, Chief of the Dearborn Police Department. “Firearm safety is a shared responsibility, and building trust through education and safe storage is essential to keeping our community safe.”

Details on community events, educational opportunities, and safety kit distribution will be available on the City of Dearborn’s website and via Dearborn DPH social media ( on Facebook and Instagram).

City of Dearborn announces state’s first school bus safety program targeting illegal passing

DEARBORN, MI — Dearborn Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud joined school district, city, and state officials to announce a new school bus safety enforcement program to tackle the pervasive issue of illegal school bus passings and protect students.

Partnering with BusPatrol, Dearborn Public School District’s fleet of more than 100 buses will be equipped with cutting-edge safety technology, including stop-arm cameras powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to detect when motorists fail to stop for a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing and stop-arm deployed.

The evidence will be shared with the Dearborn Police Department for review before a citation is sent to the registered vehicle owner. Dearborn is the first community in the state to incorporate this district-wide bus safety program.

Mayor Hammoud stated, “Our goal is simple: prevent dangerous driving and make our roads safer. This program is about changing behavior and sending a clear message: In Dearborn, we stop for school buses—every time.”

The program will begin with a warning period and public awareness campaign starting Dec. 15, 2025, during which motorists will receive warning letters with no monetary penalty. Official ticketing will begin on Jan. 19, 2026, and drivers who fail to stop for a bus with its red lights flashing will face a $250 fine for a first offense, and $500 for any subsequent offenses within a 1-year period.

"We consider the school bus an extension of our school grounds, and it deserves the same level of care, oversight, and protection,” said Dearborn Schools Interim Superintendent Lamis Srour. “This partnership reflects our shared commitment to protecting students not only in the classroom but everywhere their school day takes them."

As stated by Michigan state law, drivers must stop at least 20 feet away from a stopped school bus when its red lights are flashing. Drivers must remain stopped until the school bus resumes motion, or the visual signals are no longer activated.

Dearborn Police Chief Issa Sahin stated, “Our families deserve to know their children are safe walking to and from buses. This program is about changing driver behavior and keeping our kids safer.”

The program comes at no cost to the city, district or residents, and will be funded through violations.

"This partnership with the City of Dearborn is a Michigan-first for student safety," said Justin Meyers, BusPatrol President and Chief Innovation Officer. “Illegally passing a stopped school bus endangers children. By collaborating with the City and Dearborn Public Schools, we ensure every Dearborn student gets home safely, changing driver behavior and making roads safer.”

According to the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services, over 2,200 motorists illegally pass stopped school buses each year in the state of Michigan, equivalent to over 400,000 violations each year. Every one of those incidents puts children at risk.
