There aren’t many towns of 6,000 in rural America that can boast walking-distance access to the world’s best physicians, a cadre of top oncologists, internationally regarded cardiologists,skilled stroke specialists, high-level nurses and pediatric hospitalists who can save even the tiniest baby’s life.

But Petoskey can.

Living in Emmet County brings quality of life on many fronts, and providing the best of the best in health care has always been at the top of the chart. 

For decades, Northern Michigan Regional Hospital has been steadfastly supported by wealthy resort families who summer in Northern Michigan. Wanting access to the most advanced level of care for themselves and their community, these well-connected families have generously donated resources to the operations of the hospital. The community, too, has stepped up to ensure NMRH remains the vital force it is as a regional referral center.

Among the colleagues hustling down hallways and delivering care with compassion are doctors who literally could practice anywhere in the world. They’ve chosen Emmet County.
