In an ongoing effort to address mental health within Milwaukee County, officials celebrated on Friday, June 2, 2023 the latest step made toward ensuring people in the community have access to essential services.
“This movement is necessary, this movement is pivotal,” said Dr. Aronica V. Williams, the chief medical officer for Milwaukee Health Services Incorporated.
“The whole mission of federally qualified health centers is to be deposited in communities of need,” said Dr. Williams.
The new clinic, which is now located inside the Isaac Coggs Heritage Health Center, will provide a number of services to the community, including mental health and substance use disorders.
Following the closure of the county’s mental health complex last September, health officials say the placement of the clinic, which is located at 8200 W. Silver Spring Dr., was critical in order to meet people where they are.
The Access Clinic North hours are as follows – Monday: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Tuesday-Friday: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturday-Sunday: closed. The Access Clinics currently have three locations across the county to support community members in need – Access Clinic East: 210 W. Capitol Dr., Milwaukee, WI 53212; Access Clinic North: 8200 W. Silver Spring Dr., Milwaukee, WI 53218; and Access Clinic South: 1635 W. National Ave., Milwaukee, WI 53204.
