McLaren Northern Michigan named Hospital of the Year
PETOSKEY — McLaren Northern Michigan has been named Hospital of the Year by the Apogee Physicians Group.
The award honors a hospital “that demonstrates a trusted and respected relationship between the hospital, hospitalists, and Apogee senior leadership that is rooted in a mutually shared goal for excellent patient care,” McLaren Northern Michigan said in a news release.
“We recognize that ‘hospital’ is 70% of the word ‘hospitalist’ and that an engaged hospital team is integral in creating an environment for our providers to succeed,” Dennis Klein, Apogee Division I president, said in a statement. “At McLaren Northern Michigan, we found a hospital that collaborates at all levels for improved patient and provider-focused care, and a hospital that creates and supports an environment of continual improvement.”
Apogee Physicians Group came to McLaren Northern Michigan in October 2016 providing a full staff of hospitalists, doctors who specialize in treating hospitalized patients.
