Q and A with Munson Healthcare president, CEO
Q and A with Munson Healthcare president, CEO
With major changes in health care on their way to Leelanau County and all northern Michigan, we thought it a good time for a conversation with the president and CEO of Munson Healthcare. Ed Ness has held that position since 2012, and has been an administrator for the largest employer in northern Michigan for 24 years. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM

LEELANAU HISTORY
The termination letter from Village of Northport President Steve Wetherbee to now former administrative coordinator Barb Von Voigtlander is seeing daylight for the first time. The Leelanau Enterprise recently obtained a copy of the letter through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), after Wetherbee failed to provide copies to members of council prior to the letter’s delivery, which council previously agreed would occur by certified mail. Wetherbee said he hand-delivered the termination letter to Von Voigtlander and signed it as his own witness. *** Sugar Loaf Resort owner Jeff Katofsky is slated to make another in-person “stealth visit” to Leelanau County on May 3, according to local officials who participated in a teleconference with him last week. The California-based real estate attorney and developer is expected to meet in person at that time with many of the government officials who participated in a teleconference with him on April 4. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM

NHS effort St. Mary School
National Honor Society (NHS) students recently participated in an alumni outreach initiative. Students were part of a Phonathon team who contacted St. Mary School graduates. The goal of the outreach initiative was to connect with alumni, verify contact information and solicit feedback about their favorite St. Mary School memory. The NHS students earned service hours as well as demonstrated leadership by inspiring other students to step forward and collaborate on this project. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM
