Established as a not-for-profit organization in 2009 and designated as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in 2010, its core mission is to provide exceptional healthcare services to all individuals in the Upper Great Lakes region, without regard to their ability to pay. This commitment to accessibility and affordability is a defining characteristic of their operations. The center offers a wide range of integrated health services, encompassing family medicine, behavioral health, and dental care. For family medicine, they provide comprehensive care for all ages, from infants to the elderly, including preventative care, management of chronic conditions, and treatment for acute illnesses like colds, flu, and minor injuries. Their services extend to annual check-ups, health screenings (such as mammograms and bone density tests), disease prevention, and various immunizations. Beyond general family medicine, Upper Great Lakes Hancock Family Health Center also specializes in women's health, offering obstetrics, gynecology, birth control options, fertility treatments, and menopause management. They provide pediatric care, focusing on the overall physical and emotional well-being of children through well-child exams and immunizations. Behavioral health services are robust, assisting patients with issues like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship problems, and substance abuse. They are unique in the Upper Peninsula for offering this trifecta of medical, behavioral, and dental services under one umbrella, promoting a holistic approach to patient health. As an FQHC, the center receives federal funding and benefits from programs that allow them to offer discounted rates through a sliding fee program for qualified individuals. They also assist with insurance applications and billing questions, aiming to ease the financial burden of healthcare for their patients. The Hancock facility is located at 500 Campus Dr SUITE 2, with specific suites dedicated to family medicine, OB/GYN, and pediatrics. They are committed to a patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model, ensuring coordinated and high-quality care.
