Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
St. Joseph's Medical Clinic has been serving the Waukesha County community since 1977 in providing free healthcare and referral services for uninsured and underserved families and individuals.
What is your primary product or service?
Healthcare services including exams, lab, treatment plan, prescription medications, and specialty provider visits.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I have been working with free and charitable clinics since 2009 and serve as Vice President of the Board of Directors with the Wisconsin Association of Free and Charitable Clinics [St. Joseph's Medical Clinic is a member agency]. Since the 1960's, free clinics have diligently built their resource capacity to address the current medical [and often times dental care] needs within our local communities. We recognize that there are community residents who are struggling to afford and manage their basic necessities. The changing and evolving healthcare environment enable free clinics to have the ability to adapt to shifting local healthcare needs.

We are a non-profit clinic serving uninsured and low-income residents of Waukesha County.
