As many know, we added the call center (989-339-4464 M-Sat 9am to 6pm) and an electronic medical record/scheduling system a couple of weeks ago to assure seamless coordination between patients, Dr. Bob, and all the clinics. Now it is time to expand the practice.
We are adding another physician to help me with the Southern Clinics. Dr. Garrett Smith is joining us at Denali and will be in Muskegon, Lansing, Kalamazoo, and Saginaw on a regular basis and may make appearances in Mt. Pleasant and many of our other offices. He’ll be going to Marquette twice a month as well to help with our expanded services there. Dr. Smith has a strong pain management background and is being brought in to expand our pain management services in addition to suboxonet and medical marijuana certifications.
He is a welcome addition and should take some of the pressure off me as I travel more than 6000 miles a month serving patients throughout Northern Michigan. I will still be coming to these locations along with Dr. Smith, but the bottom line is physician availabilty is doubling, and we are looking for another full time physician to help witht he Northern Clinics so I can work on the areas not being served currently.
In addition to another physician, we are adding clinics in Manistique and Ironwood, and a full time office will open June 14th in the Soo (I’ll be there 4 days a month). Our new office in Muskegon is up and running and will be a primary base of operation for Dr. Smith with an emphasis on pain management and certifications in a medical office setting. Our clinics in Mt. Pleasant, Cadillac, Traverse City, Saginaw, Marquette, Greenville, and Kalamazoo/Portage are going strong and we are adding Nurse Clinics to the extra physician to assure pateints can be seen several days a week. Soon we will add primary care to select clinics and are interviewing Nurse Practitioners to man those clinics 5 days a week. We have one on board already and will be adding more.
All of us at Denali Healthcare wish to thank the people of Michigan for making us your choice for professional medical marijuana certification, suboxone therapy, and the non-surgical management of chronic pain. With you, we will reach our long standing goal of providing affordable primary care to the uninsured patients of Michigan. We are three years intot the plan and will reach our goal within two with your help.
