Middleville Rotary Club
Greg Chandler
Staff Writer
Fifteen months after
arriving at Spectrum Health
Pennock to be its chief oper-
ating officer, Bernie Jore is
glad he made the move to
West Michigan.
“That was always our
plan. We wanted to move to
the west side of the state,”
Jore said Tuesday when he
was the featured speaker at
the weekly meeting of the
Middleville Rotary Club at
Middleville United
Methodist Church.
Jore, who now lives in
Middleville, came to
Spectrum Health Pennock in
February 2020 after a long
career at St. Mary’s Hospital
in Saginaw, now known as
Ascension St. Mary’s. A
native of Alpena, he held a
variety of positions, includ-
ing director of human
resources, director of trauma
and surgery and vice presi-
dent of nursing.
During his talk, Jore
spoke about efforts the hos-
pital has made to bolster its
ranks of medical profession-
als, particularly in areas like
orthopedic care.
“We’re committed to
keeping care local. We know
we can take good care of
people and we can provide
high-quality services,” he
said.
Jore also spoke about the
Baum Family Surgical
Center that opened last fall.To date, nearly 650 surgeries
have been performed in the
surgical center, he said.
Jore is particularly excit-
ed about a new addition to
Spectrum Health Pennock’s
array of services – dorsaVi, a
wireless sensor technology
that measures and analyzes
the way we move.
“I really feel this is where
physical therapy is going in
the future. This is simply a
way to track muscle move-
ment,” Jore said. “It’s a high-
tech way that we can run
algorithms, put them through
a computer, and we can fig-
ure out what people are
doing, what muscles are
injured, and measure what
might be the best possible
exercise they can do in order
to help build strength in that
muscle.”
While the dorsaVi system
is being only used for reha-
bilitation, he said it’s not
Pennock’s intent to limit its
use to just that purpose.
“Our intention is to move
it into our wellness center, so
that we can use this to help
support local athletics,” he
said. “We want to be able to
go into the high schools and
actually have the athletes get
hooked up to this. We can
watch how they’re pitching.
We can see how they’re run-
ning for cross country. We
can work with the girls’ vol-
leyball team. We can see
what the kids might need to
strengthen in order to stayhealthy.”
One of the dorsaVi mod-
ules Pennock has acquired
measures running technique,
Jore said.
“We realize we’ve got a
lot of runners in our commu-
nity, and there are a lot of
runners that do injure them-
selves, [and] we feel like if
we could get them hooked up
to this, we could actually see
why they’re having prob-
lems, [such as] shin splints.
We can actually see why
their knees are hurting,” he
said.
In closing, Jore spoke of
the generosity of area resi-
dents in support of the hospi-
tal.
“It was a little over $
million to build that surgery
center ... $8 million came
from the community, from
Barry County. That’s impres-
sive,” he said. “When you
have a project that you’re
putting together, and [two-
thirds] of the project gets
paid by the community, and
it’s with simple asks and
people stepping up and help-
ing out, that’s impressive.
That’s not what I’m used to.”
Jore’s wife is an adminis-
trative assistant for
Thornapple Kellogg Schools,
and their children are in fifth,
seventh and ninth grades.
