Michigan Pain Consultants closure
Corewell Health is here to support patients affected by the recent closure announcement of Michigan Pain Consultants (MPC) office locations across West Michigan. We understand this sudden change poses challenges for those who depended on MPC services for pain management. To help patients continue to receive the care they need, we advise the following steps:
- Contact your primary care physician: Patients should reach out to their primary care physician's office to discuss obtaining necessary medications or to receive a referral to an alternative pain management clinic.
- Find a primary care physician: For people needing assistance locating a primary care provider, help is available by calling 877.362.8362 or visiting spectrumhealth.org/services/primary-care.
