McLaren Northern Michigan Foundation Honors H. Gunner Deery II, MD, for Extraordinary Patient Care and Service to our Community
McLaren Northern Michigan Foundation honored H. Gunner Deery, II, MD, Infectious Disease specialist and hospital board member, with the Jack Clark Philanthropy and Service Award in a special and unique celebration at his home on Walloon Lake. While social distancing prohibited the annual award from being presented in front of a large audience, Dr. Deery, a renowned epidemiologist and infectious disease specialist, appreciated the small gathering that included his family.
The award was presented by Robbie Buhl, son of last year’s award winner, Fay Buhl. Following Buhl’s comments, Deery was surprised by a boat parade on Walloon Lake with friends, colleagues, patients, and neighbors celebrating his recognition with signs, cheering, and large photos of Deery.
“For decades, Gunner has provided direction and leadership to propel this hospital and the health of our community forward,” said Elise Hayes, Chair, McLaren Northern Michigan Foundation Board. “He is a visionary and philanthropist at heart and has devoted significant time and energy to ensure that our hospital is the best place for providers to practice and for patients to receive care.”
Recipients of the Jack Clark Philanthropy and Service Award are nominated by a McLaren Northern Michigan Foundation Board ad-hoc committee. They are dedicated leaders and philanthropists who provide the Foundation with direction and serve as its ambassadors throughout our northern Michigan communities.
Deery has dedicated his life to helping patients live healthier lives. He has served on numerous state and national committees and has conducted research for more than three decades on a broad range of issues in infectious diseases. He has been recognized with many awards, including the Infectious Diseases Society of America Award for outstanding achievement in clinical practice. Deery has been a generous and dedicated friend of McLaren Northern Michigan with a long history of service and membership on both the McLaren Northern Michigan and Foundation boards.
“Dr. Deery has been a true advocate for our patients and our providers,” said Julie Jarema, Interim Chief Development Officer, McLaren Northern Michigan Foundation. “The Foundation and the Hospital are strong community assets thanks to his dedication to continuing education and clinical excellence.”
