Why Munson Healthcare Orthopedic Institute?
When you’re in pain, your bottom line is to feel better. But there’s far more to healing than a one-size-fits-all surgical procedure. At Munson Healthcare Orthopedic Institute (MOI), we believe full recovery is a journey that is highly individual and holistic.
Here, we offer everything you need for the most successful, smooth recovery from joint pain – all under one roof and close to home in northern Michigan.
