ALPENA, MI — Despite getting two consecutive A grades in a national safety rating, MidMichigan Medical Center-Alpena fell to a C this fall. The hospital was one of the few in Michigan to lose its A grade, a ranking that is based on semi-annual data from the Leapfrog Group, a Washington D.C.-based nonprofit hospital watchdog organization.
Its ratings are based on the results of surveys that cover a variety of topics, from safety to patient experience to the ability of staff members to answer patients’ questions. Hospitals are rated on five categories: mortality, morbidity, readmissions, efficiency, and maternity care. The 139-bed Alpena facility is the largest in northeast Michigan and serves more than 44,000 residents.
The facility has a team of more than 300 physicians, nurses, and other health professionals, plus more than 100 volunteers. It provides diagnostic, treatment and preventive healthcare services to individuals in the community. It is also home to the Alpena Regional Hospital Heart Institute and the Alpena Regional Cancer Center. It is also a teaching hospital and is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
