Founded in 1874 to bring medical services to what was then a frontier lumber boomtown, Saint Mary's has long been a leader in offering the most up-to-date health care technology to northeastern lower Michigan.
But Saint Mary's leadership in neurological and neurosurgical care can, in many ways, be traced to 1961 - and the arrival in Saginaw of a talented young physician named E. Malcolm Field.
Dr. Field brought impeccable credentials: a medical education from the University of Michigan and residency at Henry Ford Hospital. He brought a unique combination of skills and training in neurology and neurosurgery. And he brought an intense dedication to helping others and a virtually tireless work ethic - products of his upbringing with three brothers on a Brighton dairy farm.
Within a few years, Dr. Field had helped turn Saint Mary's into the neurological care center for our area of Michigan. Saint Mary's developed the region's first - and still the only - Neuro Intensive Care and Progressive Care units. Saint Mary's was the first to offer area residents sophisticated diagnostic tools such as CT and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). So Saint Mary's was the natural choice as a partner to take the area's leadership in neurological care one step farther.
