ABOUT THE FACILITY
A 139 licensed-bed hospital located in northeast Michigan on the shores of Lake Huron, Alpena's first community hospital opened in 1915 as the Donald McRae Hospital. It served until 1939, when a petition was passed to build a new public hospital. On April 16, 1940, a new 88-licensed bed hospital opened called Alpena General Hospital. On April 1, 2016, Alpena Regional Medical Center joined MyMichigan Health, making it the fifth Medical Center in the MyMichigan Health system. To reflect the hospital joining MyMichigan, the Medical Center changed its name to MyMichigan Medical Center - Alpena.
