UP Health
System provides comprehensive healthcare to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan through its three
hospitals and physician practices. We provide a full range of inpatient and outpatient services to
residents from across the UP.
The Community With small communities and big ideas, Michigan's Upper
Peninsula is the perfect place for people to explore their many interests. Visit the art galleries,
and museums, walk along the beaches of Lake Superior, hike, bike, and explore the beautiful nature
trails. Wrap yourself up in a blanket of bright stars, clean air, and open water.Â
Hancock is a
community that brings together small-town values, rich history, and a four-season wonderland for
outdoor enthusiasts — without the long commute times or congested highways. The Keweenaw is home to
two universities — Michigan Technological University and Finlandia University. The community
benefits from the diversity, culture and high standards of living contributed to our small town. We
often call the Keweenaw the "Copper Country" because of the amount of natural "float" copper found
in the area. In fact, at 90% pure, much of the copper is the purest copper in the world.Â
Balance
your life in a big-minded, family-oriented community with a small-town feel.
