"I’m excited to join this team at the new location because it’ll be a Nurse Practitioner clinic which means our patients will receive holistic care with the combination of both medicine and nursing at a lower cost. A solid body of evidence has shown that NPs provide high-quality cost-effective care. As a junior NP, I’m excited to get the chance to work alongside and learn from these experienced NPs." -Mary Chenge, DNP, AGNP-BC

MSU Health Care Family Medicine | Clinical Center First Floor in Suite A110 will continue our focus on caring for your whole family, from one-day-old infants, to preventive care for growing families and geriatric care to optimize an older person’s ability to enjoy good health.

"Patients' health care needs are complex and the ability to facilitate interprofessional collaboration including behavioral health providers and care managers will allow the College of Nursing's NPs to enhance our care for the patients."     -Katherine Dontje, PhD, FNP-BC
