We’d like to take a moment to celebrate and shine the light on our INCREDIBLE Medical Assistants in recognition of National Medical Assistant Day [TODAY 10/22/2025]! Your efforts, experience, and passion makes the Clinic not only run, but provides a welcoming space for our patients to get the best care for their health needs! In some cases even attending to additional things like jumping a patient’s car when their battery has died!

Thank you all for going above and beyond to ensure that no ones health gets left behind!

Dr Ray Bohrer was the recipient of the 2025 Primary Care Association Board Member of the Year Award! We'd like to highlight a bit of Ray's history as it relates to the Clinic:

Dr. Ray Bohrer, MD was one of the founding volunteer physicians of Traverse Health Clinic which is celebrating its 50th year anniversary (est. 1975). From the humble beginnings of a group of volunteer providers identifying the need to provide healthcare for those who couldn't afford it...to now serving nearly 4,300 patients and 20,000 patient encounters in primary care, behavioral health and recovery program services. Dr. Bohrer has served on the Traverse Health Clinic Board for over 13 years and has served as Board Chair for the past 2 years, as well as going on 46 years of volunteering with the Clinic. During this time Ray has provided insightful strategic leadership and guidance to Traverse Health Clinic and to the Traverse Health Clinic Board of Directors (that has many new Board Members). His ability to keep on task, facilitate a light-hearted meeting and work closely with the CEO to ensure we achieve our mission is remarkable. He comments "If we can generate 100 ideas and a couple stick...we are moving forward"! Ray was instrumental in the clinic expanding to offer mobile medical services to the unsheltered as well as supporting the Traverse Health Clinic team to expand these critical services through a $1M expansion grant. Traverse Health Clinic is now seeing over 600 unsheltered patients a year.

Congratulations on the award, Ray! We are honored to have you on our Board of Directors providing your wisdom, experience, and perfectly timed stories for every occasion!

More than a Family Practice

We’ve been making health care accessible in our community for almost 45 years. We offer affordable primary care and behavioral health/counseling services, complimented by a variety of support services to ensure nobody has barriers to the care they need.

We always welcome new patients. All of Traverse Health Clinic’s services are available for people with or without insurance. We do accept most major insurance plans, Medicaid, McLaren, Meridian, Molina, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. We also offer a sliding fee scale based on family income, as well as affordable payment plans for out-of-pocket expenses. It’s our mission to ensure that no one’s health gets left behind. And no one is ever turned away because they can’t pay.

Traverse Health Clinic's primary care is available for all ages -- from infants to seniors and everyone in between. Our behavioral health/counseling services are available for everyone ages 12 and up, no matter where you receive your primary care. You don’t need a referral to make an appointment with one of our licensed, on-site therapists.
