Menominee Tribal Clinic changes afterhours nurse hotline to (715) 786-4006 Jan. 31

Menominee Tribal Clinic will move its afterhours medical advice line to a new phone number and a different company effective Saturday 01/31/2026 at 8:00 AM. The clinic announced the change and provided a single new contact for afterhours calls.

Menominee Tribal Clinic stated, "Effective Saturday 01/31/2026 at 8:00 AM Menominee Tribal Clinic’s afterhours medical advice line is changing to a new number with a different company. The new Nurse Hotline will be (715) 786-4006." The notice does not name the company that will operate the line, nor does it provide the previous afterhours number or details about hours, costs, or the scope of services beyond the phrase "afterhours medical advice line."

Area residents who rely on nurse-staffed advice outside clinic hours should note the new number and be prepared for possible interruption or confusion around the changeover. Without confirmation of operating hours, callers who need immediate guidance should plan for potential delays in reaching afterhours help and keep alternative options in mind for urgent needs.

One widely available nurse helpline marketed nationally is Medical City Healthcare’s Consult-A-Nurse®. That service describes itself this way: "Get advice you can trust directly from experienced, licensed nurses. Call (844) 70-NURSE (844-706-8773) anytime, day or night for answers, advice and peace of mind." Medical City Healthcare adds, "If you have a looming question about a medical issue or aren't sure who to contact to get the right type of care, our experienced, licensed nurses are here for you 24/7," and cautions that "While our nurses do not diagnose conditions, we are happy to assist with these common inquiries:" including triage guidance under a "Seeking urgent care vs. emergency care" heading. The available promotional copy does not state any relationship between Medical City Healthcare and Menominee Tribal Clinic.

The change raises public-health and equity questions for Menominee County. Afterhours nurse lines provide triage, symptom guidance, and a first point of contact for people deciding whether to seek urgent care or emergency services. If access changes or if the service model shifts - for example, hours, language support, or caller eligibility - those changes could affect tribal members and rural residents who face longer travel times to clinics and hospitals. Menominee Tribal Clinic’s notice does not address whether the new service will be free to callers, available 24/7, or staffed to support callers off the reservation.

For now, update your saved numbers: use (715) 786-4006 for MTC afterhours nurse advice beginning Jan. 31 at 8:00 AM. If you need round-the-clock nurse guidance today, Medical City Healthcare promotes Consult-A-Nurse® at (844) 70-NURSE (844-706-8773) as a 24/7 option that connects callers to experienced, licensed nurses who "do not diagnose conditions" but can help with triage decisions.

What comes next: residents should confirm details directly with Menominee Tribal Clinic about hours, costs, language services, and who is operating the new line so families and caregivers can plan for safe, timely access to care after clinic hours.
