MCLAREN NORTHERN MICHIGAN WELCOMES NEW NEUROLOGIST
McLaren Northern Michigan is pleased to announce Minna Hancock, DO, neurologist, has joined the Neurosciences team.
As a high school volunteer at the Muscular Dystrophy Association Summer Camps, Dr. Hancock gained a love to serve others that led her to the health care field. "I was motivated to choose a field in neurology in part from working with children affected with muscular dystrophy, as well as the fascination and awe I felt when learning about the brain and caring for patients with neurological conditions during my initial neurology rotation in medical school," stated Dr. Hancock.
When looking for a location to practice medicine, Dr. Hancock wanted a safe, beautiful, family-friendly small town with great outdoor recreational opportunities.
