Department Chair
Welcome from the Department Chair
The vision of the WMed Department of Family and Community Medicine is to embrace, support, and develop the individual talents and strengths of our faculty and learners to enhance the care we provide and the lives of our community, patients, learners and ourselves. To reach this vision, we are open to all who seek our assistance and welcome the diversity of individuals and their talents. We strive to improve the services we offer based on the needs of our community and patients through the strengths and range of skills of our team members.
Our goals are to serve the healthcare needs of our community, train the next generation of family physicians, educate our medical students and through our scholarly activities and research share our expertise across the United States and beyond.
As family physicians, we specialize in developing relationships with our patients to serve their comprehensive wellness and healthcare needs. We strive to provide most of our patient’s outpatient needs, care for these individuals in the hospital when they are sick and engage our other specialty colleagues for additional care where needed. In addition to the routine primary care needs, wellness, mental health and cancer screenings, our faculty have expertise in pregnancy care, osteopathic treatment, sports medicine, lifestyle medicine, public health, reproductive health, medically managed weight loss, substance use disorders, skincare, office procedures, gender affirming care, hospice and palliative care,
In Kalamazoo, our faculty and 27 residents serve our patients at our 555 W. Crosstown Parkway office, through our Street Medicine program meeting individuals where they are, hospital care at Bronson Methodist Hospital and additional prenatal and infant care with our partnership with the Family Health Center.
In Battle Creek our faculty and 18 residents serve our patients at the Grace Health Clinic, which is a Federally Qualified Healthcare Center (FQHC) and provide hospital care at Bronson Battle Creek hospital. We are proud to be nationally recognized as a patient-centered medical home. We look forward to serving your healthcare needs.
