About this Hospital

From the first time you walk in our doors or call us on the phone, we want you to know that you come first. While others say they are doing it, we are. Whether it is a friendly greeting by our staff or a “real person” answering the phone or listening to your concerns, mmpc is putting patients first. We want you to know that we value having you as our patient.

Our comprehensive approach to your healthcare does not stop after you have seen the physician:

Our on-site billing specialist can help you with your insurance questions.
Your prescription will be sent to the pharmacy of your choice.
A speedy referral to a mmpc specialist can happen as soon as possible.

If you do need a referral to a specialist, we make sure that an mmpc^® specialist sees you as soon as possible. If a non-mmpc specialist is required, we will work with the specialist collaboratively to make sure your care continues with the quality you deserve.
