New Hope Outreach Clinic

New Hope Outreach Clinic was created by New Hope Baptist Church and the University of Michigan Health System to offer health care services dedicated to meeting the medical needs and respecting the cultural sensitivities of African American older adults and their families. The clinic's primary mission is to reach underserved African Americans, but is open to all older adults.

A health care team for the Geriatrics Center provides primary care services. The clinic offers primary care, health screening, health education and referrals for adults aged 55 and over. The primary care is provided by a Nurse Practitioner who has a Master's degree in nursing and special training in providing health care to older adults. The nurse works under the supervision of a Geriatric physician. A Geriatric social worker and a community outreach coordinator are also members of the health care team. Clinic staff will assist elderly patients with transportation to the clinic, provide help with Medicare/Medicaid and other financial concerns and help with prescription assistance programs. The social worker is available for both clinic and in-home counseling to patients and their families.

The clinic is open 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Mondays and 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Fridays. Appointments may be made by telephone through the University of Michigan Geriatrics Center-Turner Geriatric Clinic.
