Leadership

Our Leadership

Memorial Healthcare is an independent, not-for-profit hospital that provides inpatient and outpatient services to residents in and around the greater Shiawassee County, MI, region. We are governed by a volunteer board that maintains fiduciary responsibility for corporate assets and policies. The Memorial Healthcare board is comprised of representatives from the community, the Memorial Healthcare Auxiliary, the Memorial Healthcare Foundation, and the medical staff.

In late 2023, we announced the creation of Memorial Health System, a governance structure designed to enhance our ability to serve our communities and focus on future growth opportunities. Since that time, the System Board, comprised of the officers of the Memorial Healthcare Board of Trustees, has been focused on our organization’s future growth and stewardship.
