After over 32 years of caring for the people of our communities, we are honored to celebrate the retirement of Amy Hepburn, our Strategy and Program Director!

While there are truly no words to capture the full impact Amy has had on Thunder Bay, we can say with certainty that she has helped shape healthcare in Northeast Michigan with unmatched passion, innovation, and heart. From our early days as a single site in Hillman to today's total of 11 clinics, Amy's leadership and vision has remained consistent. Last week, our Board of Directors celebrated her decades of service, officially expressing their gratitude.

Thank you, Amy, for being a beacon of light for TBCHS. 💙

The Huron Health Center is OFFICIALLY open! 🧡

TBCHS is proud to serve Rogers City Area Schools with medical and behavioral health services at the brand-new Huron Health Center. Last week, the HHC team gathered with school administration, fellow TBCHS teammates, board members, and community members to celebrate with a ribbon cutting.

After a season of planning and construction, the HHC opened early this year and is already changing lives. The care team at the center has had full schedules, going above and beyond to make the center come to life, and we can't wait to see their impact continue to blossom!

This center is powered by Thunder Bay Community Health Service and received funding from the Department of Health and Human Services.

Thank you to the Presque Isle Advance team for taking this photo!

Last week, a team of Thunder Bay Community Health Service leaders and members of our Board of Directors attended the National Association of Community Health Centers Policy and Issues Forum in Washington DC. Throughout the event, the team attended educational sessions, met fellow CHC leaders from around the nation, and spent a day on the Capitol Hill visiting with our elected officials.

Along with fellow members of the Michigan Primary Care Association , TBCHS met with Rep. Jack Bergman to thank him for his continued support of Community Health Centers, including his recent introduction of the Community Health Center Drug Pricing Protection Act. We appreciate his commitment to strengthening access to care for the communities we serve!
