Blog: A Scheurer Thing

It's a part of healthcare that no one likes to talk about, but is absolutely essential, especially for men's health. Scheurer Urology is lucky to have such a down-to-earth provider in Dr. Edward Blanzy. With years of experience, there isn't a Urology topic that surprises Dr. Blanzy and he's able to provide guidance and a plan to keep our population healthy.

When people think of a healthcare career, "Accounts Payable Clerk" might not be the first thing to come to mind. Trevor Thomas might not be in the limelight, but he is one of the many individuals across Scheurer Health who help, as he says, "pay the bills and keep the lights on."

As part of the holiday tradition, we provide a holiday meal of Prime Rib and all the fixings for every employee at Scheurer Health. This year, we were fortunate to extend this tradition to Harbor Beach, as well.

We want to thank every single employee who makes Scheurer Health such a special place to work, and as a result, provide Top 20 Care in America!

With locations now expanding to Harbor Beach and Port Hope, we are proud to be part of the community on and off the field. As part of the run to Harbor Beach's second state championship in school history, our cameras were on hand to help capture the game from Ford Field on Friday, November 28, 2025. Clark Ramsey, our director of Marketing, also serves as the producer and host for the WLEW Sports Network. That allowed us unique access to the team and to provide a final product that will hopefully be cherished by players, parents and fans alike for years to come. This feature utilized footage in 3x slow-motion and in 4k clarity, requiring over 130 hours of editing.

With the holiday season officially upon us, the Scheurer Health Foundation and Hospital Auxiliary are proud to present the 2025 edition of Lights of Love. Now, through a majority of the winter, each of our campus locations will be illuminated in bright twinkle lights in honor of those that we love and appreciate.

Individuals, businesses and the like all had the opportunity to dedicate lights, trees and snowflakes to those special people in their lives. To view the entire list of 2025 honorees, follow the link here.

The roots grow strong for anyone from the Thumb of Michigan. None might be stronger, though, than for Elisabeth Milligan, MD. A native of Cass City, Michigan and even the former Michigan Bean Queen, Dr. Milligan brings a wealth of local knowledge to complement her extensive medical training.

You will be hard-pressed to find a more down-to-earth Primary Care Provider than Emma Will, PA-C. As a Physician Assistant at Scheurer Primary Care - Pigeon, Emma sees patients of every age and walk of life. Watch her video below to learn the importance of having an established Primary Care Provider (PCP) in your life and why it is more impactful than just bouncing from walk-in clinic to walk-in clinic when you're feeling under the weather.

Medical Assistants play a vital role in delivering efficient, compassionate care. They are the bridge between patient and provider, making sure every appointment starts smoothly and ends with the patient feeling cared for. Melissa Smith, MA, is proud to be one of our amazing team of MA's within Scheurer Health.

We are beyond excited for Katelyn Holmes, DO to join our medical team and expand our Internal Medicine capabilities at Scheurer Health! The daughter of fellow Scheurer provider Brenda Kretzschmer, FNP-BC, Dr. Holmes has grown up around the Scheurer culture and is looking forward to serving the local community.

Every year, we honor our workforce that makes it all possible to provide our local communities with the best care ever. Because of their dedication, we celebrate those individuals who have reached a five-year milestone at Scheurer Health. This year's group of award-winners totalled over 1,976,000 lifetime hours at Scheurer Health -- something that doesn't happen by chance!
