Health Care: 

Schoolcraft County offers a healthy environment to live and work. Complementing Mother Nature's nurturing is a sophisticated level of medical care not typically found in a rural community.

The county's main health care provider is Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital. Located in Manistique, the county-owned, 25-bed hospital offers a full spectrum of inpatient and outpatient medical care, including general and gynecological surgery. The hospital runs a 24-hour emergency room, and a walk-in clinic for non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses. The hospital also provides physical, occupational and speech therapies, respiratory therapy and sleep study, cardiology and cardiac rehabilitation services and chemotherapy. Diagnostic services include a 'round-the-clock-staffed laboratory, x-ray, mammography, MRI, CT scans, and nuclear medicine. Home health and hospice services are provided by Schoolcraft Memorial HomeCare & Hospice.

Included in the Schoolcraft County Memorial Hospital family is a well-equipped fitness center open to the public, and Woodland Meadows: a new, full service, 20-unit Assisted Living Facility.

Schoolcraft Memorial is a member of the Upper Peninsula Health Care Network, a consortium of 16 U.P. hospitals. By coordinating health services throughout the peninsula, the UPHCN has lowered costs while expanding medical services and health education to more than 314,000 U.P. residents.

The advancement of long distance video teleconferencing has improved medical care for U.P.residents. The Upper Peninsula Telehealth Network allows Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital's medical staff and patients to consult with specialty physicians without leaving their home town. The network also provides professional education, allowing hospital staff to keep abreast of the latest technologies and practices. Started in 1994, Marquette General Hospital is the hub of what is now a 28-site network.

Providing resident with disease prevention and health education services is the Luce-Mackinac-Alger-Schoolcraft District Health Department. Hiawatha Behavioral Health provide community mental health services for residents of Schoolcraft, Chippewa and Mackinac counties. Manistique is home to Schoolcraft Medical Care Facility, a 95-bed nursing care facility, and North Woods Home Nursing & Hospice, a privately owned agency serving six U.P. counties. Schoolcraft County also has physicians, chiropractors, dentists, massage therapists, optometrists, home health care providers, and mental health professionals working in private paractices.
