Inside Munson Overview

By Staff

Munson Hospital, Traverse City

Munson Healthcare dominates northern Michigan. The non-profit regional healthcare system employs 5,000+ people; covers communities in 24 counties; owns and/or operates seven hospitals, two community health centers, North Flight/ EMS air and ground transport system, Munson Home Health, and Munson Hospice and Palliative Care, plus is co-owner of Northern Michigan Supply Alliance, which manages more than $100 million in supply chain spending each year.

Now, with the recent surprise announcement that Munson might join forces with the multi-billion dollar Spectrum Health, it’s likely Munson Healthcare will get even bigger.

This month, the TCBN goes inside Traverse City’s leading economic driver to find out where it’s at, how far it’s come and where it – and northern Michigan – are headed.
