Our Philosophy
A Commitment to the Community
Unique to Macomb County and at the leading edge of primary care nationally, Village Health Family and Urgent Care is forging a new kind of family practice — the kind that does not require an appointment. Just arrive, sign in and be seen! We have maintained extended hours for 15 years.
We made this commitment to the community of North Macomb County — and kept it faithfully since we opened in 2008 — because we know your health care needs don’t always follow a schedule. Our doctors and staff understand that hectic work and home lifestyles in a tough economy don’t often permit appointments on “Wednesday at 1:15 p.m.”.
In fact, at Village Health, you don’t need an appointment. Walk in anytime and we will quickly assess your family practice or urgent care needs and treat you and your loved ones accordingly.
To sum up our philosophy, it’s very simple: extended access to fast, effective medical care.
Services
Here are some of the services and features offered by Macomb County’s most comprehensive family and urgent care center —
Powerful electronic medical record (EMR) software allows Village Health doctors to have your entire, updated health information available any time of the day or night. This top-rated and continuously updated system alerts Village Health doctors to potentially dangerous drug interactions before they can cause problems.
In 2018 we upgraded our x-ray room to state of the art D.R. technology, which greatly improves image resolution and REDUCES RADIATION by 50 percent!
Because your safety is so important to us, we've installed a remote viewing x-ray system, enabling a board-certified radiologist to review your x-rays and issue a printed report in 1-2 days. Whether negative or positive, you'll receive a phone call with these results.
What sets Village Health apart
All minor medical emergencies are treated right away, including coughs, sore throats, cuts, ankle sprains and rashes. But what truly sets Village Health apart from most urgent cares is that we provide anytime access to many of the treatments offered in a hospital emergency room — at a fraction of the cost. Here are just a few of them —
-
I.V. lines, allowing fluid infusion and intravenous medications
-
Cardiac monitoring and EKG’s
-
Acute care resuscitation area with full ER crash cart equipment and meds
-
AED (Automatic External Defibrillator)
-
Slit lamp (high magnification) eye exams and removal of ocular foreign bodies
-
Suturing of complex facial lacerations
-
Plaster splinting of fractures and dislocations
-
Stat lab testing
-
Patient observation for extended periods available as needed at any time
-
Allergy shot injections (using the vials provided by your allergist)
We also have select services generally available only in subspecialty clinics —
-
Audiometry and tympanometry for hearing and ear drum testing
-
Vision analysis to detect functional visual impairment
-
24-hour Holter studies for diagnosis of cardiac arrythmias
-
Pulmonary function testing — results available in minutes
-
Drug and alcohol testing — for workplace injuries
-
Hemoglobin A1C blood testing to diagnose and monitor Diabetes
All of the above capabilities enable Village Health to treat the vast majority of conditions presenting to us without requiring hospitalization or referral. But when Village Health doctors diagnose an immediately life-threatening condition, they have the equipment and training needed to initiate treatment and stabilization of the patient prior to emergency transport to any of the four area hospitals. Paramedics – stationed less than a mile away – arrive through a dedicated ambulance rear entrance. Our physician then briefs the receiving medical team and sends a written report to further enhance continuity of care.
Because quality care is so important to us, each patient seen at Village Health receives a next-day follow up call. This allows us to monitor the treatment’s progress and, if the patient’s condition is worsening, to alert the doctor, who can intervene with further treatment or referral.
