MUSKEGON, MI -- Hackley Community Care is offering transportation services to patients, addressing what officials say is a major barrier to accessing health care in Muskegon County.
The Federally Qualified Health Center has partnered with Pioneer Resources to provide rides to medical, mental health, dental and specialty appointments at no cost to patients. The service has no geographic restrictions and will use fully accessible vans to accommodate patients with varying mobility needs.
“Removing transportation barriers is essential to improving health outcomes,” said Michael Weessies, chief executive officer of Hackley Community Care. “This partnership ensures our patients can more easily reach the care they need — care that truly has the power to change lives.” The collaboration emerged from recognition that transportation challenges prevent many patients from keeping appointments and receiving timely care. Hackley Community Care serves more than 22,000 patients annually across Muskegon County, offering primary medical care, dental services, mental health treatment and other health programs.
