After an endorsement by the Medical Society of Milwaukee County, a core group of volunteers founded and opened the doors to the Greater Milwaukee Free Clinic in December of 1995.

Equipped entirely with donations and staffed by volunteer physicians, nurses and receptionists, the clinic has treated more than 22,000 patients since opening.  In 2008, we provided 2,452 physician visits to 1,463 individual patients.  Aurora West Allis Medical Center laboratory and radiology departments have provided additional support to the 45 physicians who care for patients in the clinic.  Additional support has been donated by Milwaukee area specialists who responded to a request for aid by our Medical Director.  By 2008, over $10 million in free medical care has been provided to local patients.
