Our Impact

More Than a Clinic —
A Community Partner

Beyond clinical care, we run programs that address the root causes of poor health in our community — food insecurity, lack of access, and preventive care gaps.

Community food distribution program

Nutrition Assistance

Our food distribution program provides fresh, nutritious meals to families in Alpena County facing food insecurity — because health starts with nutrition.

Wellness screening event in the community

Health Screenings

Free and low-cost screening events throughout the year — blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, and more — brought directly to community gatherings.

Family receiving healthcare support

Family Support

From prenatal care to pediatric visits, we support families through every stage — with sliding-scale fees so cost is never a barrier to care.

Insurance & Access

We Make Care
Accessible to All

We accept most major insurance plans, Medicare, and Medicaid. Our sliding-scale fee program ensures that no one is turned away due to an inability to pay.
