ON THE COVER
I hope our latest issue of HealthToday nds you and yours in
good spirits. As you'll see in this issue, we're beginning the new
year at Centegra Health System with additions to our own family
in orthopedics, cardiology, plastic and reconstructive surgery
and elsewhere. We're looking ahead to an exciting 2016 with
the opening of our new Huntley hospital. If you'd like to be
a part of our growth, see page 7 to learn about employment
opportunities across our health system.
As we wrap up the holiday season, our patients give us the
most reason to celebrate, and the inspiring survival stories of
Beth-Sophia Thompson, Erik Blome and Janet Luken remind us
all to be thankful. We encourage you to take advantage of the
season's spirit of renewal to schedule regular health screenings for yourself.
It will be a gift to yourself and to your family.
Our health tips and tricks are meant to help you stay in shape and recover
quickly from whatever life throws your way. Enjoy the read, and remember
that we're in your corner at Centegra, with a robust season of events, services
and classes to help you and yours stay well.
From all of us at Centegra, here's wishing you a healthy 2016!
Sincerely,
Michael S. Eesley
