Mission:

Our mission is to provide access to care where there are gaps in the area’s health care delivery system. We were created to provide basic health care services and referrals for speciality care to area persons who lack health insurance.

Background:

For 35 years, the N.E.W. Community Clinic has been providing quality care to the hard-working, low-income and uninsured people of Brown County.The clinc opened in July of 1971 under the name of the Green Bay Area Free Clinic as a social work project of a University of Wisconsin Green Bay student. We now have 3 sites; our main site is centrally located, our second site opened in July of 2006 is on the west side and our outreach clinic for the homeless is downtown. In 2005 we had over 35,000 visits in the clinic, the homeless shelters, WIC and our school programs combined.

What we do:

  • We reduce unnecessary emergency room use. In 2006, 57% of our clients would have gone to the ER if the clinic didn't exist.
  • We save money. The average cost of a visit at our clinic is $41.81 including doctor visit, lab tests, interpreter(if needed) and sample medications.
  • We ensure a healthy community by providing care to those who need it most.
