Sault Tribe Health and Human Services Division

After Hours Walk-in or Urgent Care Services

Dear Sault Tribe Members,

It is important to your Sault Tribal board of Directors and to your Healthcare team that you have access to medical care and advice even when our Health Centers are closed.  Because of this, the Health Program has established contracts with local walk-in or urgent care clinics across the Eastern Upper Peninsula to provide after hours and weekend/holiday access to urgent care services.  Additionally, we have implemented an after-hours telephone nursing service for patients to use when our clinics are closed.  Patients are now able to talk directly to a registered nurse to receive advice and direction on the care they need when our clinics are closed.  We are sending this letter to all Tribal households in our service area (Chippewa, Mackinac, Luce, Alger, Schoolcraft, Delta, and Marquette counties) to explain how to access or obtain these new health services.  Please call your local Tribal Health Center if you have any questions.

We wish you all Health for a Lifetime!           

Joel Lumsden, Assistant Health Division Director

Sault Tribal Health Program

How do I get after hours Telephone Advice?

To obtain care when our clinics are closed, you must call the clinic where your primary care provider is located.  You will be given options to fill medications or to talk to the after-hours telephone triage nurse.  The nurse will provide you medical advice.  You may receive a variety of recommendations from how to manage your concern from home or whether you should seek care from a local walk-in, urgent care service or emergency department.  To access the after-hours triage nurse please call one of the following Health Center telephone numbers:
