Why I chose to practice in Grand Rapids...
I love living in West Michigan for its easy access to the splendid Lake Michigan and "Up North." It's very cliche, but the Grand Rapids area is the best big city with a small-town feel. We have the best of both worlds here. The hospice and palliative community is also a collegial and close-knit group making it a wonderful place to practice.
