A vested interest in creating opportunity, attracting employers, and offering families and individuals a high quality of life
For the past 16 years, it has been my privilege to work with community, business and philanthropic leaders committed not only to high quality, integrated health care in West Michigan, but also to the long-term economic health of our region. As West Michigan’s only locally governed, integrated health system, as well as its largest employer, Spectrum Health has a vested interest in the health of the communities we serve; it’s our mission. We also have a vested interest in helping to make West Michigan a region that creates opportunity, attracts employers, and offers families and individuals a high quality of life.
These are just a few of West Michigan’s underlying attributes that are helping to establish new industries, retool old ones, breathe new life into facilities, grow opportunity, attract investment and provide innovative programs to the underserved – efforts that are positively impacting the region, and will continue to do so for years to come.”
I’ve come to recognize several special characteristics about West Michigan that have enabled our community to forge ahead through periods of economic stress, industry upheaval and political and social change, emerging each time stronger, more cohesive and with a stronger dedication to working together for the good of all of our citizens: An exceptional work ethic, a strong entrepreneurial spirit, a desire to collaborate, a willingness to embrace and support change, and the generosity of the region’s philanthropic community.
