Happy Valentine's Day! Say hello to two of our newest colleagues – our K-9s Nora and Hisar! These four-legged heroes have joined our Security team and serve our hospitals and ambulatory sites in Muskegon, Shelby and Grand Haven.

On February 11, we recognize World Day of the Sick— a time to prayerfully remember all who are sick and suffering, and all who care for them. Initiated by Pope John Paul II and coinciding with the commemoration of Our Lady of Lourdes, this day is a reminder for us serving in Catholic health care of the importance of the sacred mission we are called to do.

In his message for this year’s World Day of the Sick, Pope Leo XIV invites us to reflect in a special way. Read his full message: https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/messages/sick/documents/20260113-messaggio-giornata-malato.html

A Huge Win for Heart Care on the Lakeshore! ❤️‍🔥

Trinity Health Muskegon has achieved six straight months of door‑to‑balloon times under 90 minutes, the critical window from arriving at the ER to reopening a blocked artery during a severe heart attack.

Faster treatment = better outcomes, and our team continues to deliver exceptional, life‑saving cardiac care when every second counts.

We’re also celebrating Corazon Accreditation at Trinity Health Grand Haven, Trinity Health Shelby, and Trinity Health Muskegon, and recognizing Trinity Health Muskegon as a Corazon Chest Pain Center of Excellence.

Proud of our teams. Grateful for our community.

We are deeply grateful to three extraordinary champions, Linda Porter, Phil Porter and Lisa Smith! Through their passion and hard work with Pledge the Pink, they raised an incredible $20,538.00 for the Trinity Health Breast Center. These funds will help provide life-changing care for uninsured and underinsured patients and support vital education and equipment needs. Linda, Phil and Lisa, your dedication brings hope and healing to so many. We would be remiss to not give special shout out to Pat Porter for her creative and continuous fundraising efforts. Thank you all for turning compassion into action—you are truly making a lasting difference!

Important update for year-end donors! If you’re planning to mail a charitable gift before December 31, 2025, new US Postal Service postmark rules could impact whether your donation counts for the 2025 tax year. Beginning December 24, 2025, the Postal Service will postmark mail based on when it’s processed—not when you drop it in the mailbox. That means a check mailed on December 31 might not receive a December 31 postmark unless it’s processed. Because the IRS considers your gift complete based on the postmark date, this change affects donations to any nonprofit—including Trinity Health. Here’s how to make sure your year-end gift is counted for 2025:
• Mail early—don’t wait until December 31.
• Ask for a manual postmark at the Post Office (it’s free).
• Purchase proof of mailing—Certificate of Mailing ($2.40) or Certified Mail ($5.30)
• Prefer no postmark worries? Give online through our website bit.ly/4saFZIo
Questions? Call us at 231.672.4890. We’re here to help make sure your generosity is counted the way you intend.
