The Cass Family Clinic recently hosted a ribbon cutting event to celebrate its new Mobile Health Clinic.
The event took place at Cass Family Clinic’s Cassopolis location.
The Mobile Health Clinic initiative aims to better serve the residents of Southwest Michigan. The year-round clinic will offer health and wellness exams, sports physicals, substance use disorder behavioral therapy, acute musculoskeletal issues, blood pressure checks, influenza vaccinations, patient education and other medical resources. The services are available to anyone in the community, not just Cass Family Clinic patients.
“At Cass Family Clinic, our goal is to ensure that residents have access to quality health care – no matter where they are,” said Joe Gavan, Cass Family Clinic CEO, in a press release. “The Mobile Health Clinic allows us to deliver care in a new and innovative way, reaching patients who might otherwise face challenges accessing services.”
The Mobile Health Clinic was made possible by a partnership between Cass Family Clinic and Grand Rapids-based Corewell Health. Cass Family Clinic was also awarded $250,000 from the Cass County Opioid Settlement Fund, a grant approved by the Cass County Board of Commissioners, to help fund the Mobile Health Clinic.
“Access to care is the foundation of a healthy community,” Natalie Baggio, Corewell Health president, said. “By working together to reach rural areas through mobile services, we’re helping ensure that every resident, regardless of location, has the opportunity to live a healthier life.”
