Cadillac Family Physicians has gone to optional masking
Effective 4/10/2023, Cadillac Family Physicians began optional masking for Providers, Patients, and Staff. When scheduling an appointment, you will still be asked if you have any known upper respiratory symptoms. If so, you will be scheduled with a Provider in our private entrance exam room or offered a virtual visit. Masks are required in the private entrance exam rooms due to the possibility of contagious symptoms. Thank you for your patience and cooperation. Cadillac Family Physicians Team.

Long Covid Support Group offered by Munson Healthcare
Follow THIS LINK to learn more and sign up.
Most people recover from COVID-19 within 2 weeks but a smaller cohort of survivors experience prolonged health-related issues. These “Long-COVID” or Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) patients experience a range of symptoms: fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, joint pain, depression, hair loss, chest pain and other reported symptoms.
These symptoms can range from mild to incapacitating and can be incredibly disruptive to a person’s life. This group is designed to support those patients who do not fully recover.
At the meetings, Munson Healthcare staff and other experts will share the latest information and provide practical guidance for addressing the most common symptoms.
Sessions are held the first Thursday of each month from 5 – 6:30 pm via Zoom. Participation is free. Registration is required. Participants must register for each meeting they wish to attend.
