CASSOPOLIS — A local healthcare provider has welcomed a new member to its staff.

LuAnn Tracey, a Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, has joined the staff of Cassopolis Family Clinic Network.

Tracey received her associates degree in nursing from Southwestern Michigan College, bachelor of science from Ferris State University and master of science as a family nurse practitioner from Indiana University South Bend.

“I have a passion for working with underserved families and have spent the last few years working in South Bend for a community clinic dedicated to this. Spending time getting to know

more about my patients in general is my favorite part of being a Nurse Practitioner. Being a healthcare provider is much more than just the formal medicinal portion. Building a mutual trusting relationship and understanding psychosocial aspects can be as healing as any other treatment,” Tracey said.

Tracey will see patients of all ages at the Cassopolis Family Clinic location until the opening of the new Niles Community Health Center in the fall of 2019.

CFC is located at 261 M-62, Cassopolis, and offers primary care, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy, and Medicaid/healthcare enrollment assistance services. CFC is open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.  Saturday.
