DOWAGIAC, Mich. – Cass Family Clinic, an independent Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) serving Southwest Michigan, has kicked off construction of its new Dowagiac health care clinic in the former Community Care of Dowagiac building on M-51. The new clinic will be Cass Family Clinic’s third location when it opens late summer 2025, joining the organization’s Cassopolis and Niles locations.
The 4,000-square-foot Dowagiac facility, located at 57392 M-51 S, was designed by Barker Nestor Architecture + Design of Chicago, and construction began in mid-March. It will feature primary medical care and a full-service pharmacy, including a drive-through, and serve an estimated 2,400 patients. The new clinic will employ about 15 Cass Family Clinic employees.
“Cass Family Clinic's new Dowagiac location will provide convenient access to healthcare and pharmacy services for patients,” said Joe Gavan, CEO of Cass Family Clinic. “As an independent community health center, we're thrilled to begin working on this new clinic to better serve the residents of Cass County.”
Cass Family Clinic currently operates two locations:
• Cassopolis Family Clinic: 261 M-62 North, in Cassopolis, providing medical, dental, pharmacy and lab services.
• Niles Community Health Center, 1951 Oak St., in Niles, providing medical, behavioral health, pharmacy and lab services.
