Summary
At its January 31 annual meeting, the Beaver Island Rural Health Center discussed a proposed relationship with Northern Michigan Hospital. The report says Northern could assist with purchasing, grants, training, library resources, recruiting, telemedicine, and emergency-department access. BIRHC approved a memorandum of understanding and formed an equal-member task force; the report described a more formal affiliation as forthcoming in March.
