Caring for families at every stage of life ❤️

At McLaren Northern Michigan, our Women and Children Program provides compassionate, family-centered care to mothers, babies, and young patients. From welcoming new life in our obstetrics unit to supporting children who need hospital care, our teams work every day to create a safe, comforting environment for families.

Our obstetrics team provides attentive care before, during, and after delivery so families feel supported and confident during one of life’s most important moments. In our inpatient pediatric unit, donor support helps create a child-friendly space that brings comfort and reduces stress through playroom supplies, murals, and welcoming surroundings.

Your generosity helps make this care possible for families across northern Michigan.

Support the Women and Children Program and help bring comfort, healing, and hope to mothers, babies, and children in our community.

💙This says it all. Thank you to everyone who helps make a difference for our community.

The blizzard that hit northern Michigan shut down roads and made travel nearly impossible. But it didn’t stop our amazing staff.

Dr. Siddharth Gandhi, our interventional cardiologist, had procedures scheduled. Snowed in at home, he dug his way out and walked to the main road. His coworker, a CRNA, met him there and drove him to the hospital safely so his patients wouldn’t be delayed.

When the hospital was filled with colleagues who hadn’t planned on staying the night, our chef stayed too. He prepared meals for anyone who needed one — patients, nurses, physicians, support staff. That’s the kind of thing that doesn’t show up in a job description. It just shows up when it matters.

And when the roads were still unsafe, Nicole, a nurse manager on our Med Surg team, got behind the wheel. She picked up 10 nurses who couldn’t make it in, ensuring the unit stayed staffed and patients continued to receive the care they needed.

These are the moments that define a team. These are the moments that define us. Thank you to our incredible team for going above and beyond for our patients.

The Central Courtyard at McLaren Northern Michigan is complete, and we look forward to seeing patients, visitors, and staff enjoy this beautiful new space. The weather just needs to warm up! ☀️

As part of the Building the Future of Health Care project, the courtyard was thoughtfully redesigned with new landscaping, a welcoming patio area, and handcrafted furniture from Sturgeon River Pottery. It offers a peaceful place to pause, reflect, and enjoy a moment outdoors during the day.

We are grateful to the generous donors who made this transformation possible. Their support helps create spaces that bring comfort and healing to everyone who walks through our doors. If you would like to support projects like this, visit mclaren.org to donate. Every gift makes a difference.
