    Community residents have many choices when it comes to primary health care, an essential component to wellness and whole health management. Muskegon Family Care and Hackley Community Care serve as Muskegon County's two federally qualified health centers enhancing healthcare in underserved communities and specializing in patients who are underinsured on Medicaid or Medicare. Mercy Health Muskegon and several private providers also offer the community choice.

These organizations and congregations provide great community based, natural supports for youth and parents with complex needs. Establishing positive relationships and connecting with the community, faith, and culture are two of the strongest ways to build resilience and overcome trauma and adversity.
