Gregory H. Downer, MD, Receives Mercy Health Golden Staff Award

Dr. Downer was nominated for the Golden Staff Award by his colleagues on the third floor at the Mercy Health Mercy Campus in Muskegon. What follows is a summary of his nomination:

Dr. Downer is an outstanding physician. He always makes sure his patients have appointments, medications and community services set up before discharge. He is easy to approach and offers education to not only the nurses, but to the patients and their families as well.

One patient’s comment: “I really like Dr. Downer because he took the time to explain things in a way that I could understand, and he took the time to address all my questions.”

Dr. Downer not only treats his patients with respect and care, but he shows the same kind of caring for his colleagues. He takes time to make sure the nurse is aware of the patient’s care plan and any new orders. He connects as a colleague, not only as the physician.

Thank you, Dr. Downer, for providing exceptional care for our patients.
