MyMichigan Medical Center Alpena is a 139-bed critical access hospital that provides general medical and surgical care for inpatients and outpatients along with 24-hour emergency room service. The hospital’s medical specialties include behavior health services, cancer care, diagnostic imaging (x-ray, CT scanning, etc.), orthopedics, pain management, rehabilitation services, surgery, women’s health and wound & hyperbaric medicine.
The hospital has a long history of community engagement, with the foundation of the Alpena General Hospital established in 1916 as a private, not-for-profit healthcare institution dedicated to caring for the health and well-being of the entire region. Over the years, the hospital has evolved to meet the changing needs of the area. It is now known as the MidMichigan Medical Center-Alpena and is a part of the MidMichigan Health system.
In the latest ratings from patient safety watchdog Leapfrog Group, the Alpena hospital received an A grade for overall quality of care — a significant improvement from the C grades it received in each of the previous three Leapfrog scorings. The hospital earned high marks for not leaving dangerous objects inside patients during surgery and for avoiding air or gas bubbles in blood, as well as for all practices that prevent errors, including ordering medications by computer, handwashing, communicating about medicines, providing discharge instructions and staff working together to avoid mistakes.
However, the hospital did score below national averages for sepsis infections after surgery, dangerous blood clots and a lack of doctors specially trained to care for intensive care unit patients. The hospital also rated below the state average for injuries caused by falls, for medically unnecessary admissions and for a high rate of patient harm during anesthesia.
The company was founded in 1940 and is headquartered in Alpena, MI. MidMichigan Medical Center-Alpena has 1,000 employees. Its revenue in 2023 was $1,417 million.
