MyMichigan Medical Center Gladwin

MyMichigan Medical Center Gladwin, located at 515 Quarter Street, is a 25 licensed-bed critical access hospital that has been serving the health care needs of residents throughout Gladwin County since 1937. Led by Ray Stover, president of MyMichigan Medical Centers in Gladwin and West Branch, the Medical Center is part of MyMichigan Health, a non-profit health system headquartered in Midland, Michigan, affiliated with Michigan Medicine, the health care division of the University of Michigan.

With more than 280 employees, volunteers, physicians and other personnel, the Medical Center in Gladwin provides patients with access to a full continuum of health care services normally only found in much larger communities. With 24-hour emergency care, the Medical Center’s specialized inpatient units support medical and surgical care, with support by the Medical Center’s hospitalist program. Outpatient services include mammography, bone density, X-ray services, diagnostic imaging, infusion services, nuclear medicine, laboratory services, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) scanning and MRI, a sleep disorders lab and Senior Life Solutions, an intensive outpatient group therapy program.

In addition, the cardiovascular team at MyMichigan Medical Center Gladwin is well equipped and trained to diagnose and treat heart disease, offering a wide variety of diagnostic cardiac studies, including Holter monitoring, stress tests, electrocardiograms (EKGs) and echocardiograms. A wellqualified and caring staff also delivers a wide range of rehabilitation services that include physical therapy, aquatic therapy offered in a heated pool, as well as speech therapy and occupational therapy.

The Medical Center campus features a waterfall in a garden-like setting reflective of MyMichigan’s emphasis on humanistic care. The waterfall, courtyard and walking trails that connect to the Gladwin City Park Riverwalk trails are enjoyed by Medical Center employees, patients and visitors.

The quality of care at MyMichigan Medical Center Gladwin is independently verified through accreditation from The Joint Commission and was named one of the Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals in the United States by The Chartis Center for Rural Health in 2019. Also in 2019, the Medical Center received the Michigan’s Quality Improvement Organization (MPRO) Governor’s Award of Excellence for outstanding achievement in Effective Reporting and Measurement in Critical Access Hospitals in 2019.

In 2020, the Medical Center was named a Top Rural Hospital for patient safety and quality. In addition, MyMichigan Medical Center Gladwin received a 5-Star Award for patient experience in the Emergency Department and was recognized as a 4-Star Performer for inpatient patient experience by Professional Research Consultants, Inc. (PRC).

Gladwin is also home to MyMichigan Health Park Gladwin, located at 1105 E. Cedar Avenue. The facility provides a full range of outpatient services, including primary care providers, urgent care, a lab drawing station, diagnostic X-ray services, occupational health and a primary access care clinic. Providers who specialize in family medicine care for patients of all ages, from newborns to seniors, while urgent care is conveniently open 7 days a week for walk-in care, with no appointment necessary.

Above all, in addition to caring for patients, the employees, providers, staff and volunteers in Gladwin care for their community. They give back with time, talent and treasure through local support of a variety of charitable, community and development organizations, including 211 of Northeast Michigan – Gladwin County, Beaverton Activity Center, Beaverton and Gladwin Schools, Central Michigan Health Department, Gladwin Business and Professional Organization, Gladwin County Community Foundation, Mid Michigan Community Action Agency and United Way of Clare and Gladwin Counties, just to name a few.

MyMichigan Health continues to grow and transform to fulfill its Purpose Statement of Creating Healthy Communities – Together in the communities it serves. Stover assumed additional responsibility in 2020 when he was named president of MyMichigan Medical Center West Branch. This realignment supports MyMichigan Health moving from a location-specific mindset to a regional and system focus. This structure helps MyMichigan leverage resources, while keeping care close to home and continuing to create better access to care for patients.

“We are committed to continually working to strengthen a better version of ourselves,” said Stover. “We remain dedicated to improving the health of those in the communities that we serve, leaving a positive impact on our patients, communities and employees.”
