Development Council

What is the Alpena Regional Medical Center Development Council?
The Alpena Regional Medical Center Development Council was created in May 1994, when hospital leaders recognized that an uncertain future in hospital funding required the participation of local citizen volunteers. Their efforts help to ensure that Alpena Regional Medical Center remains at the forefront of providing state-of-the-art healthcare and diagnostics

The Development Council has set its sights on raising funds to benefit Alpena Regional Medical Center, providing educational programs for local professionals and community members and opportunities for input between citizens, industry and hospital leadership.

Members of the Development Council have raised over $8 million and helped to fund the ARMC Endowment Fund, the outpatient renovation/expansion project and construction of the Cancer Center. Over 100 community-minded individuals volunteer their time and talents to benefit ARMC and our area residents.
