We are saddened to tell you that after 40 years caring for our patients, MPC will be officially closing its doors over the next 90 days. We are simply unable to sustain the rising costs or keep up with the changes rapidly happening in the healthcare market. Our team at MPC is committed to ensuring a smooth and safe transition for all our patients during this difficult time. We will work closely with you and your healthcare providers to provide the best possible care and support as we close our doors. The transition process will involve a thorough evaluation of your current healthcare needs and making the necessary arrangements for you to receive continued care with your primary care physician or another pain program. If you are actively being prescribed medications from our team and you are not already scheduled for an appointment before August 30th, call (800) 281-3237 to ensure that we see you to help develop an appropriate plan of care to suit your individual needs. If you simply need a referral to another pain practice, we recommend starting with your primary care physician or calling the number on your insurance card for an appropriate referral.

Beginning 6/26, we are switching from our current Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system to a more advanced and user-friendly platform. The transition will help us enhance the quality of care we deliver, improve our administrative processes and clinical workflows. Transitions like these can sometimes introduce temporary challenges. Our staff has undergone training to minimize disruptions during this period. However, we kindly request your understanding and patience during this transition as there may be minor delays or adjustments to our services.

We are in the process of upgrading our phone system and it is taking longer than initially expected. If you are experiencing an emergency, please call 911. If you have had a procedure within the last 72 hours and need assistance, please call our after-hours line at 616.233.1155. If you are having trouble reaching the triage or prescription line, please email us at clinicaloperations@michiganpain.com. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, and are so appreciative of any patience you can give us during this time while we get our phones upgraded.

Have you ever tried keeping a pain diary or pain journal? It can have a huge impact on the success of your treatment. Does writing help pain? Not directly, of course, but a pain diary can lead to greater knowledge – and when dealing with chronic pain, knowledge is power.
