was established in January 1986 by the following organizations:
Bronson Healthcare Group, Bronson Methodist Hospital, Bronson
Vicksburg Hospital, Allegan General Hospital, Sturgis Hospital,
Oaklawn Hospital (Marshall, MI) and Pennock Hospital (Hastings,

care organizations with their missions.
Hospital Network Healthcare Services (HNHS):
On
October 17, 2002, 15 Michigan hospitals with 18 campuses
signed an operating agreement forming Hospital Network
Healthcare Services, LLC.
HNHS was formed to capitalize on the networking success
of HNI by providing a larger base of participating hospitals
to reduce costs, increase technology, share services
and improve overall healthcare to our communities.
As a result, HNHS offers such services as the management
of Regulated Medical Waste, PACS Archiving, Disaster
Recovery, Electronic Document Management, and recruitment
assistance in the healthcare field.
Alliance-HNI
Health Care Services:
Alliance-HNI
Health Care Services has a solid past of providing quality
shared diagnostic imaging services throughout the state
of Michigan. It all began in 1986 when two organizations,
Medical Consultants Imaging Co. and Hospital Network, Inc.,
joined forces, became known as MCIC-HNI and began to provide
Southwest Michigan small and rural hospitals with Mobile
CT. From that day forward, it has grown to be one of Michigan’s
largest providers of shared diagnostic services.
In November of 1997, MCICo was purchased by Alliance
Imaging, Inc., an Anaheim, California based company.
Alliance provides MRI, CT, and Mobile PET services on
a shared mobile, interim, and full-time basis. After
this acquisition, MCIC-HNI began doing business as Alliance-HNI
Health Care Services.
Alliance-HNI serves many Michigan healthcare
organizations by providing CT, MRI, PET/CT and Asset
Management of
the organization’s equipment.
