History

MidMichigan Health was formed by the affiliation of hospitals in Midland and Clare, Michigan, in 1984. The hospital in Gladwin, Michigan, became an affiliate the following year. The hospital in Alma, Michigan, became a wholly owned subsidiary in 2004. The system's early history is documented in the book A Journey of Caring by Dorthy Langdon Yates.

In August 2012, MidMichigan Health announced it was in negotiations to affiliate with the University of Michigan Health System.[10] The partnership was finalized in June, 2013. The University of Michigan Health System acquired a minority ownership stake in MidMichigan Health and two seats on the 17-member Board of Directors.[11] The affiliation better positioned both organizations for anticipated health care reform.

MidMichigan Health provides consulting services to Mackinac Straits Health System although plans for acquisition of the critical access hospital in St. Ignace fell through in mid-2014.[12] In early 2015, The system announced that it was divesting itself of its two nursing homes, MidMichigan Stratford Village and MidMichigan Gladwin Pines,[13] a transaction that was completed the following year.[14] During the same timeframe MidMichigan acquired Alpena Regional Medical Center and changed its name to MidMichigan Medical Center - Alpena.[15] West Branch Regional Medical Center (Formerly Tolfree Memorial Hospital) joined MidMichigan Health as its sixth acute care hospital in 2018. [16] It was renamed MidMichigan Medical Center-West Branch.
