The Nursing Clinic of Battle Creek

The Nursing Clinic of Battle Creek:
What began in 1988 as a small nursing clinic operated by two doctors (Dr. Collins and Dr. Ptacin who remain the volunteer Medical Directors) and a nurse, has grown to become the most utilized program of what is now known as Community HealthCare Connections. The Nursing Clinic has helped thousands of Calhoun County residents access FREE medical care over the last 25 years. Although the Nursing Clinic has undergone many transitions in that timeframe, the focus has remained on providing FREE medical care to the uninsured who cannot afford it. Hundreds of local physicians, dentists, chiropractors, and other medical professionals volunteer their time to care for the homeless, uninsured, unemployed, underinsured, and low income individuals who struggle to access needed health care services.
