Don't let our location fool you. St. Joseph has grown from a small rural hospital to an award-winning, comprehensive healthcare system serving a five-county region of Northeast Michigan. We've been honored nationally for overall quality, technology, and patient satisfaction by such organizations as the American Hospital Association (AHA). St. Joseph Hospital is ranked among the Top 1% in the U.S. for Quality and Efficiency by CareScience, has been listed as one of the country's 100 Most Wired Hospitals by the AHA for three years straight, and is consistently among the top performing hospitals for Patient Satisfaction, according to Arbor Associates. St. Joseph has also captured an amazing 10 Governor's Awards of Excellence each of the last three years, recognizing the hospital, emergency department, internal medicine, women's center and each of its family clinics.

With our flagship Joseph Hospital, centrally located in Tawas City, plus primary care and specialty clinics located throughout the region, St. Joseph offers quality healthcare where you need it. We have over 100 physicians representing more than 25 specialties including primary care, pediatrics and cardiology.

And the health system is the region's leader in both job creation and economic growth. In the past two years St. Joseph has built a comprehensive rehabilitation center, a new 46,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art Surgery & Cardiovascular Center and is building an addition to the hospital to house its expanding radiology services.

St. Joseph also brought the region leading, cutting-edge technology to Northeast Michigan including a 64-slice Cardiac CT Scanner (one of only a handful in the state), Open-Bore MRI and an enhanced digital imaging system. And as a member of Ascension Health, the nation's largest nonprofit health organization, we are able to provide big-city services with the personal care you can only expect from your hometown hospital.
