Mission Statement
Our mission is to serve the community of Madison by establishing a self-sustaining non-profit organization for the delivery of free outpatient healthcare to uninsured persons ineligible for county, state or federal welfare programs, consistent with Catholic health care tradition.
Description
Each year, about one in nine Wisconsinites goes without health insurance for all or part of the year. Without access to basic health care, manageable conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol often go untreated until they turn into serious problems that result in preventable emergency room visits or hospitalizations.
The support of our volunteers makes it possible for us to give the majority of our visits away for free to those who lack access to primary care.
