In its continuing effort to make sure patients have access to quality health care, last week, Metro Health opened its 17th neighborhood physician office providing another convenient location for the community.
“Our neighborhood physician offices offer patients both choice and access when it comes to primarycare,” said Dr. Rakesh Pai, President Medical Group and Chief Population Health Officer, Metro Health – University of Michigan Health. “We have a large patient base that call Grandville home, so we felt it was a natural fit to open our next office in their community.”
Metro Health Grandville, like other Metro Health neighborhood outpatient centers, is a model for care that promotes partnerships between individual patients and their personal physician. The practices are recognized for intensified efforts to coordinate patients’ health care through prevention, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up services.
Located at 4285 Parkway Place SW in Grandville, the office will offer both family practice and OB/GYN services. Dr. Rebecca Werner will serve as the site medical director, seeing patients alongside Lindsey Marchel, NP. In addition, three OB/GYNs, Dr. Renee Elderkin, Dr. Stephanie Getz and Dr. Sue Hicks, will split their time between Metro Health Grandville, Metro Health Village and Metro Health Park East.
“We believe the Grandville community will benefit from having access to another primary care and OB/GYN outpatient option where they live,” said Werner. “We’re looking forward to growing the practice and plan to add two Internal Medicine/Pediatric physicians later this year.”
Metro Health Grandville will be open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Same day appointments are available and walk ins are welcome during regular business hours.
