Support the Otsego Memorial Hospital Transformation Project

Munson Healthcare Otsego Memorial Hospital (OMH) began an exciting transformation and expansion project in Fall 2024 to enhance our community’s health and economic future. This investment will elevate OMH into a regional hospital, enabling the hospital to provide enhanced care to more patients through improved ICU, acute care, and birthing facilities. 

Transformation plans include: 

• Expanded ICU and acute care capabilities to keep more patients closer to home; and
• Enhancing the labor and delivery unit to become a destination site for obstetrics care in the region. 

Munson Healthcare remains committed to you through a $33 million investment in the Gaylord community. We’re here for you when you need us, for now and for generations to come.

About The Transformation Project

Under Munson Healthcare’s Regional Care Transformation plan, OMH will expand its capacity to care for ICU, acute, and labor and delivery patients.

OMH currently lacks private patient rooms for general overnight stays. Acute care facilities will experience enhancements and expansions to increase privacy, efficiency for staff, and patient satisfaction. 

Birthing services will be transitioned from Munson Healthcare Grayling Hospital to OMH. Maternity, prenatal, and postnatal care will remain accessible in both communities. The current OMH facilities cannot accommodate this combined labor and delivery patient volume from Grayling and Gaylord. The current birthing unit will undergo an expansion to increase privacy and enhancements that will increase comfort in preparation for this transition of services. 

This expansion will enable us to accommodate more patients and improve the overall patient experience. The project is currently on track to be completed by early 2027.
