ALPENA — MidMichigan Health is expanding its footprint in northern Michigan, which hospital officials believe will offer patients better access to health care, better quality of care, and help lower the cost of that care.

Meanwhile, MidMichigan is 10 months into the construction of a new patient tower at its Alpena location and is planning for a new cancer center to be constructed at its Midland location.
