Mission: The mission of the chippewa valley free clinic is to provide quality health care and advocacy for individuals of the chippewa valley who have no reasonable health care alternative. Established in 1997, it is a primary care clinic that depends on volunteers and generous community support. It serves all patients without regard to personal, social, political, or familial beliefs and characteristics. The clinic's vision is to be the health care safety net for the uninsured, underinsured, and vulnerable populations of the chippewa valley. Its mission and vision are guided by the following values: health is a human right, respect, dignity, accountability, reliability, stewardship, and excellence.
Programs: Approximately 35 medical volunteers per week provided health screenings, dental & vision care, and primary health care referral for health related or social service needs and health education to 485 persons whose financial status impairs their access to health and medical services.
