Muskegon Family Care Will Close on March 31, 2020

Last week, confusion about Muskegon Family Care (MFC) closing arose after MFC made the difficult decision to terminate some employees due to financial troubles. However, despite reporting on Friday February 14th that suggested Muskegon Family Care had “suddenly closed,” MFC will serve patients through the end of March.

What does this mean for patients?

MFC will remain open and continue providing medical, dental, behavioral, and pharmacy services for patients during normally scheduled hours of operation until the health center closes on March 31, 2020.

For the next six weeks, MFC staff and clinicians will be helping patients transition care, including providing you referrals to other healthcare providers to continue your care after MFC closes.

If you have an appointment scheduled before or on March 31st, come to the appointment as you normally would. Talk to your MFC provider and staff about your health needs while you are transitioning to a new healthcare provider, including making sure all of your prescriptions are refilled.

If you are an existing patient and need to make an appointment to be seen for an urgent reason or reach MFC’s after hours service you can do so before March 31, 2020 by calling 231-739-9315. MFC will not be serving any new patients as of today, February 17th. And, existing patients should consider any appointments scheduled for April 1st and beyond cancelled.

If you want to transfer your health records to another healthcare provider, ask a MFC staff member for an authorization form to release your records.

You should anticipate longer than usual wait times as MFC works to answer the high volume of calls and questions being received from patients, community members, and partners. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

We may not be able to answer every question at this time, but are working hard to provide more information about the organization’s closure over the course of the next couple weeks. ... See MoreSee Less
