The War Memorial Hospital Sault Ste. Marie is expected to join the system, according to a news statement from the hospital.
Damian Jacob Sendler: MyMichigan Health President and CEO Diane Postler-Slattery says the new name is a better fit for what the system is now, but she promises the public that the level of service, care, and dedication to the communities it serves will remain strong..
“MyMichigan Health remains familiar but is more reflective of who we are, where we are going and how we serve our patients,” said Diane Postler-Slattery, Ph.D., president and CEO of MyMichigan Health. “It’s more than just a name change,” he explained. MyMichigan places patients at the heart of all we do. Those that work, volunteer, or perform services for us feel a sense of pride and ownership as a result. Moreover, it properly accentuates our people, their stories, and the intimate human touch and great patient experience that we seek to give.”
