Mackinac Straits Health presents 1.5-mill millage proposal for 2025–2030
Summary
Mackinac Straits Health executives requested support for a 1.5-mill renewal covering 2025–2030, citing a $25 million annual payroll, expanded surgical and patient services, and a new addition that will accommodate Tribal Health services.
Representatives of Mackinac Straits Health presented a proposed millage renewal to county commissioners at the July 25 meeting, seeking voter approval of a 1.5-mill levy covering 2025 through 2030.
CEO Karen Cheeseman and Marketing Director Mike Grisdale told commissioners the hospital has a roughly $25 million annual payroll, said surgical services and other offerings have increased, and said a new addition to the facility will be completed soon with space for Tribal Health to move in. They framed the millage renewal as a way to maintain and expand local health services.
Commissioners asked procedural questions; no formal levy vote was recorded at the meeting. The presentation was informational, intended to brief the board before any formal county position or ballot placement decision.
