Imagine waking up to the song of seagulls, or the wind moving through thick pines. Imagine kayaking on crystal clear water, and breathing air so fresh and fragrant, you'll want to gulp it. Now imagine living in such a place.

Northern Michigan offers you a rare opportunity. Here, nestled in a region of scenic small towns, you'll find a sophisticated health care system, fueled by advanced technology and talented people who define compassion by the way they work. When you live in northern Michigan, you will know your neighbors — and your patients. You will see them at Little League games, school concerts, in the grocery store, at church, and at community events. If you long to belong to a caring community, northern Michigan beckons.

The Grand Traverse Region was one of only five areas nationwide to be recognized in 2004 as a "Most Livable Region" by Partners for Livable Communities. In 2007, Traverse City was voted the second best place to live in the U.S. by Relocate-America. With all of the opportunities that northern Michigan offers, it's not surprising that more than 5,000 people relocate here each year, making it the fastest growing region in the state.

Despite the growth, the region remains one of the safest in the nation, and continues to be known for its friendliness. Whether you want to live in a tranquil historic neighborhood, a waterfront condominium, in the countryside, or in one of our nearby villages, you will find a true spirit of community here, surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty.
