The beginnings of Munson Medical Center can be traced to James Decker Munson, MD, who donated a boarding house for use as a community hospital in 1915. Later to become known as Munson Medical Center, the hospital was northern Michigan?s first general hospital, and was organized as the hospital division of the State Psychiatric Hospital. The facility has grown from 21 to 368 licensed beds, and is the largest hospital in the region. Through the years, Munson Medical Center has grown and improved services, including the first open-heart surgery on July 3, 1990. It is thought that this procedure was the beginning of the many regional services now provided by the Munson Healthcare system. Munson Healthcare and its partners work together to provide superior quality care and promote community health.
