 Welcome to our virtual groundbreaking for the beginning of construction on our new patient tower. This virtual groundbreaking marks an important milestone for Mid-Michigan Medical Center Alpina as the largest expansion the hospital has ever had. This is fantastic and it's really a monumental day. You know it was four years ago that we affiliated and we talked at that time about some of the things that we had planned for the future here in Alpina and here we are today making that a reality. You know it's really about the next chapter but let's for a moment think that this isn't really about a building. It's not really about a patient tower it's about people. The new patient tower represents so much more. It represents our action and purpose as a health system to really create healthy communities together. This project is just one example of Mid-Michigan Health investing in our community. In fact one of the many benefits of joining the health system is that we have the ability to make private patient rooms a standard of care that is long overdue. Our new three-story 95,000 square foot patient tower will provide a total of 60 new all-patient rooms. When completed the Alpina patient tower project will be one of quality, compassion and accessibility that will engage and connect with our community. This will transform how we provide care. For our physicians here we are now branching out into more procedures more specialty oriented care and actually getting more subspecialties entered. We need more operating rooms basically be able to handle all these things and it's being done in your community here That includes 22 medical surgical rooms, 22 progressive care rooms, 8 intensive care rooms, 8 labor delivery recovery and postpartum rooms, with a c-section suite, 5 large operating rooms, 2 procedure rooms and 18 private pre-op and recovery rooms. It will also provide comfortable areas for families and guests to gather with accessible bathrooms and elevators close to the front entrance. MidMichigan as an affiliate of U of M as a draw for doctor recruitment and provides more avenues of treatment for Alpina area residents. I think our skill sets have increased and I think because of this it would also attract a higher level and more of physicians and nurses that we'd so desperately need. I'm sure that Alpina MidMichigan affiliation has been a huge positive for MidMichigan people and will continue to be so in the future. We are here today to say we're about the future and this patient tower is about the future and as part of your MidMichigan health family we are ecstatic that this is happening at this time. We need this patient tower. We need to continue the care and the level of excellence that we have over the past years and to continue that we need your help. This groundbreaking symbolizes a community that is vibrant and growing and a community that invests in health care and in our futures and our children's futures. Thank you for making a commitment to health care. We look forward to seeing you in person at the Grand Open.
