Summary
One month after leaving Beaver Island, Mike McGinnity wrote that his eleven years of Medical Center and emergency-care work had included family practice, prenatal care, support for aging and seriously ill residents, and close work with island EMS and fire personnel. He also thanked Holy Cross Church for his deacon ministry and said he hoped to maintain a relationship with the island and return frequently.
