Robin Erb | Bridge Michigan
Reporter, Bridge MichiganRobin Erb is a reporter for Bridge Michigan. She leads health coverage for Michigan Health Watch, and believes it is our personal stories that keep us connected on common ground, whatever the break-neck fragmentation of a digital world.
A long-time journalist, Robin previously spent six years at the Detroit Free Press chronicling the fight against —and sometimes the triumph over— our most horrific diseases. Her award-winning stories chronicled the battle over the Affordable Care Act, state expansion of Medicaid, cutting-edge research led by Michigan’s hospitals and universities, deadly mistakes and extraordinary care in Michigan’s nursing homes, and a nearly forgotten mix-up of chemicals in cattle feed in the 1970s and its lingering effects today. She holds bachelor’s degrees in communications and political science from Miami University and a master’s in organizational leadership from Lourdes University (Toledo, Ohio).
