Winona Health - Winona Community Health Clinic

What is it?

Set up through a partnership with Winona Health, Winona State University and Winona County Community Health, the walk-in clinic provides free preventative care for the uninsured one day every three months.

Who is it for?

Uninsured individuals age 2 and up who do not have the financial means to pay for health care services.

Why do they do it?

Preventative health care was an unmet need for the uninsured before the clinic opened in late 2010. Its goal is to provide early prevention screenings and education to help individuals avoid more significant health risks and problems.

Impact

More than 50 patients have received preventative medical care through this program, about half of them from diverse populations. Each clinic sees a larger number of patients as word spreads to the most vulnerable populations in the region.
