May 6, 2021 4:48 PM
ZEELAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM) – The search for a new president of Zeeland Community Hospital is over.
On Thursday (May 6, 2021), Spectrum Health, which absorbed ZCH into its system 10 years ago, announced the appointment of Bill Hoefer as market leader for the system’s southwest region, which includes assuming the operational reins of the 57-bed “acute care” facility located near Zeeland’s eastern city limits.
Hoefer comes east from St. Louis, where he had been the Chief Operating Officer of the 700-bed Mercy Hospital South. He has 26 years of health care experience, in hospitals ranging from under 200 beds to his most recent opportunity.

ZEELAND Spectrum Health Zeeland Community Hospital has been recognized for excellence in patient safety.
The hospital was a recipient of the Excellence Award through the Economic Alliance for Michigan’s (EAM) 2021 Hospital Patient Safety Awards. The awards recognize hospitals in Michigan for consistently high marks and improvements in patient safety and quality of care.
“Even during a pandemic, our team has remained vigilant and dedicated to preventing hospital-acquired conditions from occurring,” stated Joe Klesney, interim president and chief operating officer of Zeeland Community Hospital. “This award demonstrates that patient safety has always been and remains our top priority.”
Did you get the COVID-19 vaccine yet?
“They all want to come and see us,” Muriel said. “They keep asking, ‘When are you going to get it?’”
The Cecconis, married 71 years, are pleased to tell their large extended family they have received both doses of the vaccine.
Thanks to a collaborative effort, the Cecconis received the vaccines close to home at The Village at Appledorn in Holland, their independent senior living community.
Shawn Pelon, a nurse with Spectrum Health Zeeland Community Hospital, delivered their second COVID-19 vaccines Wednesday, March 3, at a clinic held in Appledorn’s dining hall.
The clinic, which vaccinated more than 60 residents, is one of many hosted in Ottawa County through a partnership formed by the independent living communities, area health systems and the Ottawa County Department of Public Health.
