In August of 2015, the Lac Vieux Desert community was very proud to introduce a state of the art medical complex to the entire region of the Western Upper Peninsula. During our one year building process, we accessed medical care in our region and worked hard to bring you several specialties under one roof – what we refer to as our “Island of Healthcare.”
When becoming a patient at the Lac Vieux Desert Health Center, you will have access to:
- Comprehensive Family Medicine
- Complete Dental care
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Complete Vision services, including retail
- Chiropractic Care
- Behavioral Health
- Podiatry
- Pharmacy
Please visit each one of our departments to see what specific services are available – you will be amazed that all of this care is available under one roof!
The days of having to take the kids out of school three days to have a well child exam, dental exam and an eye exam are over! At Lac Vieux Desert Health Center, you can visit each of these providers in one day, saving a ton of travel time and time out of work and school!
We accept a majority of insurances, included MI Health, UPHP, Blue Cross Blue Shield and several more that are listed here on our website.
We are here to serve ALL residents of the Western UP and beyond! We invite you to stop by and see our beautiful building and would love for you and your family to experience the exceptional care provided here at the Lac Vieux Desert Health Center!
