Saint Joseph Mercy Health System (SJMHS) has opened a new 6,000-square-foot Urgent Care/Student and Employee Health Center on the corner of the Schoolcraft College campus in Livonia.  The new facility will provide health care services to students and employees of Schoolcraft College, as well as anyone living and working in the Livonia and Northville communities. The center is located on the first floor of the Jeffress Center at 39201 W. Seven Mild Road, Livonia, MI 48152, near the corner of Seven Mile and Haggerty Road.            
      The new Urgent Care offers non-emergency medical care on a walk-in basis, including treatment for non-life threatening illness and injury.  As Schoolcraft College’s first-ever Student and Employee Health Center, the site also provides students and staff with health and wellness services, such as physicals, pregnancy testing and vaccinations.  The facility will be operated by physicians from the St. Joe's Medical Group.
     The hours of operation are Monday to Saturday: 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday and Holidays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.        
      The opening of the new facility is part of a growing partnership between SJMHS and Schoolcraft College.       “Everything about our work with Saint Joseph Mercy Health System makes sense,” said Schoolcraft College President Conway Jeffress.  “Convenient quality health care for our students and community is most important, but we also are excited about the synergy that made this project a reality.”
      In addition to the Urgent Care, the health system became a sponsor of the St. Joe’s Sports Dome, also located on the school's campus.  The dome's opening marked the launch of Schoolcraft College’s SC Elite Program, which includes MercyElite Sports Performance, to provide health, fitness and nutritional programs to youth and adults in the surrounding area.
