Whether you’re seeking an in-person appointment or a virtual care appointment, our compassionate staff is here to provide you with the care you need to stay on top of your health. Our After-Hours clinic is located at 74 S. Elk Street in Sandusky, MI.

You can view After-Hours Clinic appointment availability and schedule your appointment right on our website at www.McKenzieHealth.org/After-Hours. Or give us a call at 810-648-6202 today and we would be happy to take care of scheduling for you.

Benefits of After-Hours Clinics

As illustrated in certain qualitative analyses conducted by the Journal of General Internal Medicine, primary care and after-hours care are beginning to merge. Being able to address concerns without checking into an emergency room or urgent care facility is extremely beneficial to patients.

Additional benefits of going to an after-hours clinic within your normal primary care organization include, but are not limited to:

• Knowing your health insurance will be accepted
• Shorter wait times
• Medical records are already on file
• More personalized care
