“This recognition truly reflects the dedication of our providers, clinical staff, and support staff and the high level at which they perform each day,” said Joe Hurshe, president of Munson Medical Center. “Moving up to sixth this year is certainly an indicator of our growth as a hub for specialty care in many different areas including our designation as Northern Michigan’s first and only Comprehensive Stroke Center.”
