InterCare Community Health Network

It is InterCare’s mission to improve the overall health of the communities we serve by providing comprehensive, patient-centered primary health care to individuals and groups who otherwise would lack adequate access because of financial, geographic, language, or other potential barriers to care. InterCare is officially designated as a “federally qualified health center” by the federal Health Resources and Services Administration of the Department of Health and Human Services. As such, we are awarded a grant every year that helps us charge for our services using a sliding fee scale for eligible low income individuals and families. We also accept all insurance types, especially Medicaid and other public and private health insurance programs.

VISION
To increase access for the underserved and reduce health disparities.

COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY
InterCare celebrates human diversity as one of our greatest organizational strengths and a key element in the pursuit of our mission. We support and strive to create a respectful, diverse workplace that provides creative, high quality ideas and solutions that ultimately result in the highest quality care for all patients. Our policies, practices, and action will reflect and support this core belief.

PHILOSOPHY
We believe all people have the right to equal access to quality health care.

InterCare Community Health Network was founded in 1972 to provide care for migrant and seasonal agricultural farmworkers.  We were originally named BVC Health as we provided care primarily to Berrien, Van Buren and Cass Counties.  We broadened our scope to provide services for rural residents in the mid-1970s and to acknowledge the larger scope, changed our name to MARCHA (Migrant and Rural Community Health Association). Our scope of services changed again to include urban areas within additional counties.   As the pace of expansion continued in response to community need, we added more sites and services, and changed our name in 1995 to InterCare Community Health Network.

Today, InterCare provides access to comprehensive quality care at seven fixed locations throughout Southwest Michigan including a women’s health center as well as a school-based student health center.  We also have two mobile units, increasing access to quality care within our service area.  We provide primary medical, dental, mental health and substance use disorder treatment services as well as many unique programs and services to help meet the needs of our communities.

InterCare operates one of the largest WIC programs in the state with over a dozen locations, some of which are co-located within our health facilities.  We continue to care for migrant and seasonal agricultural farmworkers and are the largest provider of healthcare to agricultural workers in the state.  We serve nearly 50,000 patients annually and take pride in our role of increasing access and reducing health disparities within our communities.

InterCare recognizes that its greatest and most important asset is its work force. We promote an environment where employees can develop both personally and professionally and in which pride, professionalism, and opportunity can thrive.

We are looking for caring, dedicated individuals who want to provide high-quality, compassionate health care to all the communities we serve in southwest Michigan.
