Munson Healthcare Charity Profile

As a regional, nonprofit health care system, Munson Healthcare provides direct access to more than 600 physicians, representing 57 specialty services. Munson Healthcare is comprised of eight hospitals located throughout northern Michigan — Cheboygan Memorial Hospital (Cheboygan), Kalkaska Memorial Health Center (Kalkaska), Mercy Hospital Cadillac (Cadillac), Mercy Hospital Grayling (Grayling), Munson Medical Center (Traverse City), Otsego Memorial Hospital (Gaylord), Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital (Frankfort), and West Shore Medical Center (Manistee). Services are also available at Munson Community Health Center (Traverse City) and Mercy Community Health Center (Prudenville). Munson Healthcare offers a continuum of health care services to people from 24 counties.

To ensure patients have access to care that’s close to home, Munson Healthcare works closely with Alpena General Hospital in Alpena and War Memorial Hospital in Sault St. Marie. Relationships with these facilities further ensure patients will have a smooth transition when the services of a larger medical center are needed.

Munson Healthcare offers in-home care through Munson Home Health and Munson Hospice and Palliative Care. Other specialty services and resources are offered by Munson Healthcare and are available right in your community — speech and hearing clinics, physical rehabilitation, CAT scans, magnetic resonance imaging, and cardiac catheterization.

Munson Healthcare Volunteer Information

Every day, hundreds of our patients’ lives are enriched by volunteers. The touch of a hand, a smiling face, or a gentle voice are the things remembered long after recovery.

Volunteering just four hours per week can make a big difference in someone’s life, as well as your own. A little compassion and laughter, some giving and a touch of friendship, are all the skills you'll need to become a volunteer. It’s easy, fun, and requires very little of your time.

As a volunteer, you’ll enjoy creating new friendships and will feel good knowing you are making a difference in people’s lives.

Once you’ve qualified as a volunteer, discounts at area businesses and pharmacy services will be available. Your volunteer experience can also be used on a resume, a college application, or in some cases, as internship credits toward a college degree. There are also opportunities to serve on the Volunteer Board to further make a difference in the lives of Munson patients.
