Meet the team

We believe that every person should be empowered to advocate for their personal health by identifying their preferences and having them honored by their healthcare provider.

We will help you create your personal roadmap to plan for future healthcare decisions. Meet the team that will help you through this process.

Executive Director

Doug Dietzman

As Executive Director, Doug is responsible for driving MCM's operational vision. He is also the Executive Director for MCM's parent nonprofit organization, Great Lakes Health Connect. Great Lakes Health Connect is the state of Michigan's premier Health Information Exchange. When not steering both organizations, he enjoys “trodding the boards” as a member of the Drama Ministry Team at Blythefield Hills Baptist Church in Rockford, MI.

Carol F. Robinson

DNP, MS, BSN, RN, CHPN®, Community Corodinator

Dr. Robinson has had a varied nursing career in both clinical and administrative leadership positions. Her passion for the care of chronically ill patients and families led to extensive experience with patient/family communication relative to quality of life and treatment preferences. Her scholarly work has focused on communication skills for health professionals, including advance care planning conversations. Her friendly and open approach has helped many individuals create an advance directive reflective of one's own personal values, beliefs, and preferences for end-of-life care. Dr. Robinson was in the first DNP Health Systems Leadership graduating class at the GVSU-Kirkhof College of Nursing. She has since served as an Adjunct Faculty member at GVSU in the nursing program and in the post-graduate interprofessional hospice and palliative care certificate program.
