Medical Clinic
St. Mary's of Michigan's GreenHouse Center of HOPE has partnered with the Delta College Ricker Center to expand their services to a new off-site medical clinic. This bi-weekly clinic will be held at the Ricker Center from 1:30 - 3:30pm on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. A qualified Health Professional will facilitate an educational session on selected topics and relevant screenings or risk assessments will be offered.
Uninsured individuals can seek medical consultation regarding acute and chronic illnesses. With the cooperation of Synergy Medical Education Alliance, residents will conduct non-invasive assessments and prescribe needed medication. Individuals are then able to fill the approved prescriptions through the pharmacy at the GreenHouse center for HOPE. Community Health Navigators will also assist individuals in applying for the Saginaw Health Plan or other services for which they may qualify.
Health Care Professionals interested in giving their time and talents should contact Community Nurse Dawn Bellinger at (989) 907-5650 or dmbellinger@stmarysofmichigan.org.
