In this episode of Core Conversations with Natalie Baggio, we explore how clinical leadership and innovation are shaping the future of health care in Southwest Michigan. Natalie is joined by Dr. John Froggatt, Vice President of Medical Affairs and Infectious Disease Physician, who has practiced locally for 27 years. Dr. Froggatt shares exciting news about a new stroke treatment service launching soon - A procedure that physically removes blood clots in the brain, restoring blood flow quickly and improving outcomes. Offering this advanced care locally means faster treatment, saved lives, and fewer patients needing to leave the community during critical moments. The conversation also highlights powerful improvements in care for patients living with sickle cell disease. Through system-wide collaboration, new standards of care, and stronger outpatient connections, patients are experiencing fewer hospital visits, shorter stays, and better quality of life. Dr. Froggatt reflects on what makes his work most meaningful today, building high-performing physician teams, strengthening quality, and embracing new technologies like artificial intelligence to continuously improve patient care.
