Welcome to Access Health, Muskegon's own successful multi-share program. Local partnerships with Mercy Health Partners, the former Hackley Health Systems, County of Muskegon, participating health care providers, safety-net programs, businesses, community leaders and members have contributed to the success of our program. These partnerships and community collaboration have made it possible to offer affordable health coverage to community members that, most likely, could not afford traditional health insurance. 

About Access Health

Listen to what the community, employers, employees and providers are saying about Access Health.

Access Health is a community based not-for-profit organization developed to provide affordable, basic health coverage. This is an employer-sponsored program for moderate-income, working uninsured employees in Muskegon, Northern Ottawa County, Southern Oceana County, Michigan. Businesses and employees may participate with the program if they are located within the Mercy Health Partners service area. Access Health has evolved over the years and will continue to improve and change. We have realized that we cannot be modeled like other traditional health programs because we want to emphasize health improvement and empowerment, while maintaining fiduciary integrity to best utilize our funding. We strongly believe in preventative care, education and empowerment. To help support our Mission, Vision and Goals we offer classes on healthy eating, stress management, Diabetic and Asthma, living with chronic diseases and other health issues. We provide support for members in lifestyle issues such as weight reduction and smoking cessation so members can achieve their optimal health. By engaging our members we hope to improve their long-term health. Healthier people contribute to a healthier community.
