On January 26, 2022, Outreach Community Health Centers (OCHC) hosted their Virtual Annual Meeting. The theme for this year’s meeting was “Building on our past to strengthen and guide our future.” Guest speakers included U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin, County Executive David Crowley, Acting Mayor Cavalier Johnson; and Chief Community Impact and Advocacy Officer for Ascension Wisconsin Reginald Newson.
The meeting was well attended by more than 140 staff members, key community leaders and community health partners. Attendees had the opportunity to learn more about the importance of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) such as OCHC, and about their plans to build a new 58,000 square-foot addition west of its existing 210 W. Capitol Drive location.
The addition will expand OCHC’s capacity to serve more patients and provide critical behavioral health and primary care services to Milwaukee’s uninsured, underinsured and homeless populations.
