At Answer Health, your culture is your brand. Together, we are building a trusted, independent, physician-led network known for its dedication to delivering the highest quality care. As part of this effort, the "You Are Answer Health" spotlight series celebrates the innovative practices that embody our shared mission.

This month, we proudly highlight Family Practice of Cadillac, a long-standing independent practice deeply rooted in its rural community and known for its exceptional continuity of care and welcoming, people-first culture.

For over 35 years, Family Practice of Cadillac has served generations of families across northern Michigan—creating a model of care defined by access, trust, and long-term relationships. With evening and weekend hours, the practice ensures timely care and reduces reliance on urgent care or hospital services. Every patient is seen by an MD or DO, helping preserve consistency and clinical excellence in every visit.

But what truly sets this practice apart is its culture of staff longevity. Many team members have been part of the practice for five, ten, even twenty years. Leadership prioritizes an open-door policy and fosters an environment where staff feel valued, supported, and part of a larger family. This culture has led to exceptional employee retention—an increasingly rare strength in today’s healthcare climate.

This longevity not only benefits the team—it benefits patients. Studies show that patients who consistently see the same physician experience:

• Better chronic condition management
• Greater trust and communication
• Fewer unnecessary procedures
• Improved health outcomes overall

At Family Practice of Cadillac, familiar faces and lasting relationships are more than a comfort—they’re a clinical advantage. And it’s this commitment to both people and care that makes the practice a vital part of the Answer Health network.
