Health is now in an affiliation process with West Branch Regional Medical Center.
The West Branch center voted this week to pursue affiliation with Midland-based Mid Michigan Health.
The CEO of MidMichigan Health says they will be able to help increase patient services in northern Michigan and improve medical technology in the area.
Affiliation details are expected to be finalized over the coming months.
In the interest of transparency, MidMichigan Health is an underwriter of WCMU.
