We have a new Director of Nursing at the Medical Care.
We are pleased to have our new Director of Nursing, Melissa Hilliard-Johnson back with us again. Mellissa worked here as a CNA from 1990 until 2004. She went to the hospital and had various positions and responsibilities over the years, including Unit Clerk, Nursing assistant, Registered Nurse in Critical Care and Medical Surgical, Infection Prevention/Employee Health Coordinator, House Supervisor (as needed), and Administrator on Call for the hospital and Clinics. She was the Infection Prevention Manager at the hospital and clinics since 2016.
Mellissa earned her RN at West Shore Community College in 2008, did an Intensive Care Internship at Munson Medical Center in 2009, earned her Bachelor’s in Nursing from Western Governors University in 2013, became Certified in Infection Prevention in 2017 and received her Master’s in Nursing from American Sentinel University in 2019.
She is looking forward to working with our elders again, and leading Manistee County Medical Care Facility into the future. She states, “Geriatrics is where my heart is!”
Welcome back, Mellissa! We look forward to working with you!

Jill Austin retires after a thirty year career at the Medical Care.
Jill Austin retired at the end of March 2022 with over thirty years of service at our Medical Care facility.
Jill started here as a CNA (certified nursing assistant) on May 22, 1991 and worked in that capacity until she became a licensed practical nurse (LPN) in July 1993. In March 1994, she became a registered nurse and continued to work as a floor nurse until November 1995 when she was promoted to Infection Control/Staff Development/Safety Director, a role she stayed in for over ten years. In 1996, Jill earned her Train the Trainer certification so she could train our nursing assistants.
In September 2004, Jill was promoted to Assistant Director of Nursing. She stayed in that role almost four years and then was promoted to Director of Nursing on May 1, 2008. We thank Jill for her service to the Medical Care and wish her all the best as she moves on to the next chapter of her life. Not a bad career for someone who became a CNA to put herself through college.
In retirement Jill plans to spend more time with her family and stay somewhat involved with healthcare without being on call 24/7.
Thank you, Jill, for your dedication and all those years of service to the Medical Care and our residents!
