Programs and Services
Packard Health offers a uniquely integrated model of health care that combines primary care, mental health care, health promotion, and disease management programs in one comprehensive family practice setting. We establish ongoing relationships with our patients to help each individual achieve his/her fullest health potential, not just to treat an illness or ailment.
Our programs and services include:
- Primary health care
- Behavioral health care
- Chronic disease management and health promotion
- Insurance enrollment, food pantry, and drug assistance
Mental Health Care
Packard Health patients have access to psychiatry and social services for the treatment of mild to severe mental illness. Patients work together with medical and behavioral health care staff to plan and manage their medication and solution-oriented therapy. Co-sponsored by the Washtenaw Community Health Organization, the mental health program is part of Packard Health's nationally recognized integrated care approach.
Chronic Disease Management
Packard Health offers one-on-one and group education and social support for patients with asthma, chronic pain, diabetes, depression, heart disease, high cholesterol, and weight problems. Packard's registered dietician and certified diabetes educator collaborates with providers and patients to establish effective self-management practices for chronic conditions.
Health Promotion
Packard's monthly health promotion programs are updated on the Health Promotion calendar.
Highlights include the summer Packard Pacers walking club, monthly Stitching for Serenity sessions, quarterly smoking cessation classes, HIV/AIDS education and testing, and the annual Children's Health Fair.
In an effort to promote health throughout our community, Packard trains residents of Ann Arbor's public housing communities as Community Health Workers, volunteers who educate their neighbors about health and social services.
Insurance Enrollment
Patients can receive assistance with enrollment in publicly funded health plans such as Medicaid, MIChild, and the Washtenaw Health Plan through Packard's insurance enrollment service. Our patient advocates are available by appointment, or on a walk-in basis when patients supply the necessary financial documentation.
Food Pantry and Medication Assistance
Packard Health's food pantry and medication assistance programs aid patients who are unable to afford groceries or prescription medication. The food pantry also offers nutrition education and food stability planning services. Through the medication assistance program, Packard Health provides medication samples and helps with pharmaceutical assistance applications.
