Bell History Book

The Bell Foundation needs your help!  We are developing a book that will highlight Bell’s history.  The book will have several chapters, such as:  staff, patients, facilities, renovations, departments, etc.  To help compile what we hope to be a 200 page book, we are looking for stories and pictures from you — the people who were there, the people who know the ‘unknown facts’.  We want funny stories, heartwarming stories, unbelievable stories.  We want it all!  Were you here when the triplets were born?  Did you help the first patient at Teal Lake?  What about the lady who didn’t speak any English?  Please send any stories or pictures to Amy Poirier for consideration in the history book.  You can contact Amy 485-2119 or email apoirier@bellmi.org.  Please submit stories by May 31, 2008. 

Bell Hospital is excited to announce the activation of the
Bell Foundation!

The Foundation serves as the fundraising branch of Bell Hospital. The Foundation Board of Directors consists of dedicated volunteers that have come together to support the future of Bell hospital, its patients and employees and the people of Upper Michigan. The work of the Foundation is vital to the people of this community in order to continue to have quality health care.

We have exciting plans for the Foundation, and we are eager to share them with the community. We invite you to learn more about us and find ways in which you can support the Foundation, its efforts and leave a lasting gift that will benefit the people of Marquette County for years to come.

In just the last few weeks, the progress on the new hospital has been amazing! The dry walling has commenced in the radiology department, the Med-Gas systems for the procedure and exam rooms were installed, fireproofing for the entire facility has been completed, painting has started in the Administration area, and studs and door frames continue to be installed in the Medical Office Building.

We are right on track for a September 2008 Opening!
