Spectrum Health Medical Group Opens New Sparta Office

The Spectrum Health Medical Group is inviting the public to celebrate the completion of its new facility at 2111 12 Mile Road in Sparta.

The Spectrum Health Medical Group Family Medicine offices will welcome community members and patients at an open house on Wednesday, May 19, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Refreshments will be served.

The new building will open for patients on Monday, May 24. Two Spectrum Health Medical Group primary care offices formerly located in the community have been brought together in this larger facility.

As a result, Sparta Family Medicine, 25 Ida Red, will be closed on Friday, May 21.  Applewood Family Medicine, 542 S State Street, will be closed on both Thursday, May 20 and Friday, May 21. Both offices will have 24-hour emergency answering services available during this time.

The new 13,000-square-foot facility includes six physician offices and 20 exam rooms. Services to existing and new patients will now include physical therapy, x-ray imaging and a blood draw laboratory. 

“This beautiful new facility will help us provide the best health services possible to our patients in Sparta and the surrounding community,” said James M. Tucci, MD, MMM, president, Spectrum Health Medical Group. “By bringing our providers and staff together in one convenient location we are able to offer a broader array of services and better access to care for our patients.”

The Spectrum Health Medical Group employs more than 90 physicians and mid-level providers, including nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
