Sixteenth Street Community Health Centers, Inc. Community HealthCorps

Description

We are at the heart of our healthy communities, Sixteenth Street Community Health Centers has proudly cared for the south side of Milwaukee and Waukesha for over 50 years. We provide the highest quality medical, behavioral health, and substance use care to every person who walks through our doors. But what separates our care is the deep understanding of social determinants of health and the years of development of programming to address these factors, both inside and beyond our clinic walls. It has been woven into the Sixteenth Street experience from day one.

We meet people where they live, work, learn, and play through proactive social services screening in our clinics, specialized diabetes and asthma programming, obesity intervention and prevention, and environmental programming to create resident-directed impact in the built and natural environment where our patients live, work, learn, and play.

Through full-service bilingual clinics, a behavioral health clinic, a satellite geriatric clinic, and in-school clinics, Sixteenth Street cares for nearly 43,000 primarily low-income, Latino or diverse individuals each year. At Sixteenth Street, we value and respect all people, protecting the right to wellness, and never turning anyone away who needs our care.
