Dear Friends of the Foundation, It is a New Day in Healthcare. The Healthcare industry is experiencing a historic transition at lightning speed. Not since the introduction of Medicare nearly 50 years ago have hospitals, doctors and patients faced so many changes. Despite this uncertain time in healthcare, the direction of the McLaren Northern Michigan Foundation is clear: to identify initiatives that benefit our patients in northern Michigan. As new technology and equipment become available and as new models of care are identified, McLaren Northern Michigan Foundation stands by the Hospital’s commitment to provide care as we expect for our own family. The significance of each gift goes beyond a simple dollar value; it changes the lives of residents and resorters - our neighbors, friends and family – by ensuring that the care they need is available when they need it most. Thanks to you, our family of generous donors, McLaren Northern Michigan Foundation has disbursed more than $1,823,030 in the first three quarters of our fiscal year (October 1, 2013 – June 30, 2014). The following pages illustrate how your gifts are hard at work changing the lives of patients throughout McLaren Northern Michigan. When we come together, extraordinary things happen for the patients in each of the communities we serve. Thank you for supporting the important work of the McLaren Northern Michigan Foundation. We look forward to continuing to partner with you for the good of northern Michigan patients. Respectfully yours, Sincerely,
Moon Seagren Ham Schirmer Vice President and Chief Development Officer Board Chair McLaren Northern Michigan Foundation McLaren Northern Michigan Foundation
