NorthLakes Community Clinic partnered with the Turtle Lake School District. NorthLakes Clinic staff treated students to the last round of fluoride this morning!

The NorthLakes Dental Outreach Program is a “School based oral health program to help prevent cavities and keep kids healthy.” They serve students PK-12th grade with dental care (fluoride treatments and sealants), three times/year. Parents can register children for services at the beginning of the year.

Community Health Center Behavioral Health Leaders from across the state met in Madison to discussed how Community Health Centers can optimize new reimbursement options and care delivery models to support critical care management supports for patients with behavioral health needs. Access Community Health Centers and the Collaborative Family Health Care Association (CFHA) joined the panel to discuss learnings from implementing the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) & General BHI Model.

Earlier this year, Access’ Julie Nielsen-Witkovsky, MD, and Chief Behavioral Health Officer Elizabeth Zeidler Schreiter, PsyD, presented on Access’ integrated model of behavioral health care at the Wisconsin Psychiatric Association annual conference in Milwaukee.

NEW Community Clinic hosted walk-in appointments with their mobile clinic named MOBY (Mobile Outreach Brought to You) at Samaritan Heart Mission Church and the Micah Center in Green Bay. Follow their Facebook page to know where to find MOBY next!

CEO Greg Nycz writes on the importance of Community Health Center boards while celebrating 50 years of Family Health Center of Marshfield.

“Reflecting on over 50 years with the Community Health Center movement in our country, I can say with confidence that we, along with some 1,400 like-minded organizations across the country, would not exist today were it not for tens of thousands of civic-minded volunteers who dedicated their time, talent, and passion to help assure a better life for tens of millions in our nation.”

Congratulations on 50 years of service, Family Health Center of Marshfield!

This year’s Teamwork Series focused on Financial Sustainability. Health Centers identified and advanced possible solutions related to financial sustainability. Panelists included Bill Hanna, Director of Medicaid Services for WI DHS; Aaron Todd, CEO of Iowa PCA; and Dr. Kyu Phee, President and CEO of NACHC. Thank you to all Community Health Center participants, board members, and panelists who helped make this event a success!
