Portage Health in Houghton has a new director of marketing and communications, Kevin Store.
He's not a newbie to the hospital or the area, having been Portage's medical staff recruiter since 2009, with a successful physician development plan to his credit at that position. Store's new job will be focusing on the health system's marketing and communications department.
"I look forward to this new opportunity and intend to build upon what has been done," Store says. "I have a lot of ideas, which I believe will influence the growth of our organization, as we further promote the high-quality healthcare services we offer and create greater awareness about our impact within the community."
His other previous positions have included being the executive director at Vocational Strategies, Inc. and the deputy facility administrator of Keweenaw Academy. That's only more reason to name Store to the position, says Portage Health president and CEO Jim Bogan, who praises Store's experience in business development, strategic marketing communications, public relations, consultation and training, and program development.
"Kevin has been a great asset to our organization," says Bogan. "We have high expectations of him in this new position."
