Family received excellent care at hospital

I so often read or hear many negative things about our hospital here in Alpena. In light of the care both my husband and son have recently received here, I felt compelled to write complimenting the hospital.

My husband had hip surgery on March 30 and shoulder surgery on June 8. He received excellent care from Dr. Beltinck and the staff at the orthopedic office. We were also pleasantly impressed by the before, during and after surgery care that he received at the hospital from everyone involved in his care.

My son went to the emergency room on June 20 for a recurring urinary tract infection. The doctor ordered a CT scan, and discovered that he had an abdominal aortic aneurism. He was airlifted to MidMichigan in Midland, where after getting his infection under control, he underwent surgery, which went well. They sent him back to the hospital here in Alpena for inpatient rehab. His care all the way around, from the ER visit to helping him transition back home was great.
