As many of you know I am enrolled in Leadership Mecosta. It is a 9 month class to help area leaders better understand their surrounding area, it's needs and strengths. This month was on Health Care and Human Services. Every month I am surprised by the amount of need in our area. When you hear statistics like 600 homeless students it sends chills through my bones. I understand not all 600 have no home (they are living with someone else) but in my opinion 1 is too many. The other thing this month that amazed me was the operation of our area hospital. I really enjoyed hearing Sam Daugherty, CEO of Mecosta County Medical Center speak as he is in my mind the definition of a Leader. We also heard from a fellow Ambassador of mine, Thomas Hogenson who is the Community Relations Director at Mecosta County Medical Center. Both of these men enlightened my group on how the hospital handles day to day operations and I was overwhelmed by their commitment to the public. I suggest we all reach out to our communities and help where we can. We are all in this together. Best of luck in all you do and thanks for reading.
