The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) has summarily suspended the licensed practical nurse license of Cassandra Lynn Kidd, based on her felony conviction in the 3rd Judicial Circuit Court, Wayne County, Michigan. Kidd failed to report her conviction to MDCH as required by the Public Health Code.

On March 16, 2004, Kidd was convicted of Operating Under the Influence Causing Serious Injury, a felony. As a result Kidd was placed on probation for a period of two years, with terms, and ordered to pay costs of $200.00 per year.

On October 21, 2004, MDCH issued an order immediately suspending Kidd’s license pursuant to the Public Health Code, which provides for the mandatory summary suspension of a health professional’s license upon the conviction of a felony. An administrative hearing will be scheduled to address the status of Kidd’s licensed practical nurse license.
