Courtesy Photo Barb Nye, volunteer at MyMichigan Medical Center Alpena, right, recently pins the 2024 angel pin on the lapel of Hunter Nostrant, president of the Alpena hospital in this photo provided by MyMichigan Health, the Midland-based owner of the Alpena hospital. Nye has been actively involved with volunteer services at the hospital since 2019. She currently is a clerk at the Gift Corner and volunteers at the Cancer Center. Over the years, she has also participated in many fundraisers and provided support in several areas throughout the hospital. The angel pinning is a 49-year tradition that kicks off the sale of the pins in the Medical Center Gift Shop and out in the community. Customers return year after year to obtain the new pin design. All proceeds from angel pin sales are used to support volunteer pledges toward advancements in technology and services at the Medical Center.
