Milwaukee County Celebrates Grand Opening of New Employee Health Clinics

MILWAUKEE – Today, County Executive David Crowley, in partnership with Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) Workforce Health, celebrated the grand opening of new health clinics that will provide services exclusively for Milwaukee County employees.

“When our workforce is healthy, they are better equipped to serve our communities, provide the services our residents depend on, and contribute to building a stronger, more vibrant Milwaukee County,” said County Executive Crowley. “Our partnership with Froedtert & MCW is a step forward in helping lower health care costs by making sure every employee has access to the care and resources they need to stay healthy. This is a milestone that shows our ongoing commitment to health, wellness and racial equity, both in our workplace and across Milwaukee County. “

Three new clinics will be available to the more than 4,000 full-time, part-time, and seasonal Milwaukee County employees, regardless of their participation in the county’s health insurance plan, at no out-of-pocket cost. There are no fees, co-pays, or additional charges to access these services. The clinics were supported with $1.8 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.

The clinics will be staffed by board-certified Advanced Practice Providers from Froedtert & MCW and will offer treatment for minor illnesses and injuries, wellness and preventive care, on-site lab testing, and select medications and vaccines.

“I commend Milwaukee County for continuing to make forward-looking decisions by taking an active role in providing solutions to improve employee health and help manage costs,” said Patti Kneiser, Vice President-Employer Services at the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin health network.
