President and CEO Steve Barnett Announces Receipt of USDA Letter of Conditions

About this Video

McKenzie Health System has received a USDA Letter of Conditions, a key milestone toward building a new hospital and strengthening rural healthcare in Sandusky.

We’re excited to share that McKenzie Health System has received a Letter of Conditions from the USDA’s Community Facilities Program—an important step forward in our journey to build a new hospital in Sandusky!

While there are still steps ahead, this milestone allows us to move into the next phases of planning and financing, including seeking approval for tax-exempt bonds through the Michigan Finance Authority.

🧱 This project is more than bricks and mortar—it’s an investment in:
✔️ Expanded access to lifesaving care
✔️ Long-term economic growth for our rural community
✔️ A healthier future for generations to come

We’re incredibly grateful for the support of our donors, team members, and community partners who have brought us to this point.
