Packard Health provides high-quality, affordable primary care and mental health care, complemented by a broad range of fully integrated support services. We care for patients at every stage of life and believe that everyone deserves access to health care.
Packard Health has been dedicated to serving the medical needs of our community’s residents since 1973.
Packard Health is:
- A nonprofit organization with a governing board of directors.
- A Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) we welcome all, including those without means to seek adequate health care.
- Strongly connected to community partner organizations, enabling us to meet health care needs in Washtenaw County in effective and collaborative ways.
- Guided by an ongoing quality assurance program.
With extended hours, three locations, and a team of board-certified physicians and family nurse practitioners, Packard Health is fully committed to providing first-class medical care for you and your family.
What is a Federally Qualified Health Center?
Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) like Packard Health are nonprofit, community-based organizations committed to making quality care accessible to everyone — regardless of income, insurance status, or background. FQHCs offer a wide range of services under one roof, from primary care and women’s health to behavioral health and addiction treatment, and more.
FQHCs are required to serve anyone who walks through the door, and can charge on a sliding fee scale so cost is never a barrier. We accept Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, and also receive federal grant funding that helps us care for patients who are uninsured or underinsured.
Our board of directors includes patients as well as community members — meaning the people we serve have a real voice in how we operate. That’s not just a requirement; it’s core to who we are.
I would say that Packard Health is a linchpin in our community as far as connecting people with social needs and substance use disorder and severe and persistent mental illness to primary care.
