$10,000 Goal
The Bread of Healing Clinic was founded in 2000 when a doctor in her residency program and a parish
nurse working in the community became frustrated by the cycle of Milwaukee's uninsured individuals
ending up in the hospital for chronic health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease
that could be managed easily by access to primary care and medications. Our clinics provide free
primary care medical and dental services to uninsured and under-insured adults in Milwaukee. We have
several volunteer providers who make it possible for us to offer specialty care to patients such as
rheumatology, nephrology, physical therapy, gynecology, cardiology, and respiratory therapy. Through
the MedShare program we collaborate with other free clinics in the community to provide medications
at no cost to the patient. Our clinics also provide mental health counseling at no cost through part-time
staff and Master's level counseling and social work interns from Milwaukee area universities.
Connecting our integrated care is our Community Health Resource Center(CHRC) which provides
patients and community members access to social work services such as insurance enrollment and
resource navigation.
