  • Filing Complaints/Concerns, Questions and Suggestions

    MSU Health Care encourages the prompt reporting of any alleged misconduct or safety concerns. When you have a complaint or concern regarding your or a family member’s patient care from MSU Health Care, we want to know about it.

    Rest assured we register complaints and have a process to address your concerns. Speaking up on behalf of yourself or a loved one will not compromise a patient’s future access to care. You may contact the MSU Health Care Compliance Officer or the Misconduct Line with any concerns you may have.
