Interim President Kelly Tomaszewski gave us a PowerPoint presentation on Munson's Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital.
Munson Healthcare's mission is to provide superior quality care and promote community health.  It wants to become the healthcare provider of choice for the greater Northern Michigan community.  Its values include--
  • Compassionate care
  • Excellence every day
  • Communication and teamwork
  • Commitment to community
  • Stewardship
Under its "True North" concept Munson Healthcare leaders have intentionally put the most emphasis on the patient and the patient's experience.  Kelly described recent developments at Paul Oliver, which have included leadership changes and additional efforts to promote the hospital and the many services it offers.  Provider recruitment is an important area that continues to present challenges.
 
Paul Oliver continues to add new services as with its Specialty Care Clinic offering local service in a number of specialties, including
  • Traverse Heart and Vascular
  • Urology
  • OB/GYN
  • Ortho
  • Sleep Science
  • Wound Therapy
Rehab services are available at Paul Oliver. as well as off-site offices in Benzonia, Empire and Interlochen.  Kelly noted that compassionate care close to home would not be possible without generous community support.  To learn more about making a gift to Paul Oliver visit munsonhealthcare.org/munson-healthcare-foundations.
