Dear Friends,

This summer has been the culmination of many years of hard work and dedication from so many people. We are proud to announce the opening of the Offield Family Pavilion—the new wing that has been under construction for the past three years. The Grand Opening took place on August 6, and patients and staff moved into the building on August 14. We dedicated the Martin and Lisa Sutter North Pavilion and the Offield Family Pavilion with ribbon cuttings, which you can read about on pages 4 and 5. We also had the opportunity to tour many of our donors through the new facility to show them the plaques honoring them for their generosity. More than 200 people and organizations were honored for their gifts with plaques throughout the building, and a few of them are pictured on page 8. This year we also had the privilege of honoring three Jack Clark Award recipients. You can find their photos and descriptions on page 3. We are grateful for their commitment to our hospital through philanthropy, leadership, and service. The medical staff is settling in and getting familiar with the new technology and equipment in the wing. The halls are already bustling with activity, and the building that so many of you supported is now a place for healing. We are—as always—amazed by what can be accomplished when passionate community members join together with generosity and kindness. Thank you all for supporting McLaren Northern Michigan. Sincerely,

Julie Jarema Chief Development Officer McLaren Northern Michigan Foundation
