McLaren Port Huron acquires Northpointe OB/GYN to keep pregnancy care in town and plans to add providers

PORT HURON, Mich. — McLaren Port Huron has acquired Northpointe OB/GYN, the hospital said in an Oct. 29 release, renaming the practice McLaren Port Huron Obstetrics and Gynecology while keeping it at 1206 Washington Avenue near the main campus.

McLaren said Northpointe was the Blue Water Region’s only comprehensive obstetrics and gynecology provider. The practice’s medical staff are joining McLaren Medical Group, and the hospital plans to recruit additional physicians and providers to see more patients.

What stays the same

The clinic keeps its current location and contact information, and existing staff continue to care for patients there, the hospital said. Patients can call (810) 984-3100. McLaren Port Huron is a 186-bed hospital serving St. Clair and Sanilac counties and is part of statewide McLaren Health Care.

The deal follows other leadership moves at the hospital this fall, including the hiring of Lance Beus as CEO, which we covered in our earlier story on Beus’s appointment.

Why McLaren says it matters

“The need for obstetric care in our community is significant, and preserving this practice is an important step in meeting that need,” Dr. John Brooks, McLaren Port Huron’s chief medical officer, said in the release. “By bringing Northpointe into McLaren and working to recruit additional physicians and providers, we can build on the care already available here and increase our ability to serve local patients and families.”

Dr. Brian Tesler, an OB/GYN and McLaren Health Care’s chief medical director for women’s health, said keeping the practice in Port Huron helps patients get ongoing pregnancy care close to home. The hospital framed the purchase and planned recruiting as an investment in long-term local access to obstetric and gynecologic care.
