Health equity is important because it means that all individuals have access to the resources and opportunities needed to achieve their full health potential, regardless of socioeconomic, geographic, or disability-related disparities. Promoting health equity fosters healthier populations, reduces health care costs and builds more resilient societies. #NationalPublicHealthWeek The Outreach Community Health Centers Primary Care clinic provides medical care for the entire family. Over the last 40 years, our programs have grown to provide a strong continuum of services that respond to the whole life needs of our patients and clients. That's health care with heart. ❤️

About us
Our History and Mission Formerly Health Care for the Homeless, Outreach Community Health Centers (OCHC) has, at the heart of its mission, a drive to provide the highest quality health care and support services to the most vulnerable people in the Greater Milwaukee Area: the homeless, those experiencing extreme poverty and the uninsured. Incorporated in 1980, Outreach Community Health Centers began direct service delivery in 1984 as a demonstration project funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Pew Memorial Trust. During the past 35 years, OCHC programs have grown to provide a strong continuum of services for the homeless as well as a critical complement of support services for the poor and uninsured. Today, OCHC delivers services to those in need at six different locations, while our Street Outreach team seeks and finds homeless people sheltered in abandoned buildings and parks, as well as those seeking service at area shelters, food pantries and meal sites. OCHC serves the most disadvantaged people in Milwaukee County. Residents of the 5 poorest zip codes in Milwaukee County make up 40% of OCHC’s service population, and the zip code of our primary service site, 53206, has a median household income that is 48.7% lower than that of the county as a whole.

Feeling connected and supported by our community is where public health begins. Primary care can address the majority of health care needs throughout life. It includes services related to prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. Outreach Community Health Centers physicians and nurse practitioners can address minor illnesses and conditions, and will prescribe medications, as necessary, to help patients recover optimal health. This #NPHW, let’s come together to advocate for stronger, healthier, and more inclusive communities. It starts here, and you can make a difference. That's health care with heart.❤️ For more resources, visit www.NPHW.org.
