About Us
|
|
Open Arms Free Clinic, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit volunteer medical clinic located in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. Open Arms Free Clinic, Inc. offers health care to individuals without health insurance who live or work in Walworth County with a household income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level who otherwise would not have access to these basic health services.
Open Arms Free Clinic, Inc. is a not-for profit corporation with 501(C)(3) status. It is the policy of Open Arms Free Clinic, Inc. not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, disability or veteran status.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has succeeded in providing millions of Americans with access to health insurance. However, many in Walworth County remain without coverage or access to a doctor. Recent estimates from University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute put that number at 8% uninsured for the state, that equals to close to
8,000 Walworth County residents remain uninsured.
For these residents, Open Arms Free Clinic is a lifesaver. The vast majority of our patients are hard-working parents with very low-wage jobs, struggling to make ends meet. Some are recently unemployed. Others have new jobs that make them ineligible for Medicaid - but they don't have enough saved to cover deductibles.
We are their safety net. There are over 70 independent, locally-run free and charitable clinics in Wisconsin
. Since our doors opened in November 2012, over
1,500 patients have enrolled into our care. In the span of one year,
800 patients, with 2500 patient visits, received services at
O
pen Arms Free Clinic.
The most amazing part? Over
9,000 hours of service
were provided by volunteer physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals
. We are grateful to have community and service minded providers on our team.
Free and charitable clinics do not receive federal funding to provide services. Instead,
we rely on donations - both monetary and in volunteer hours - to stay open.
Whether for a short time or for long term care, OAFC has been a
vital access point
in the community for vulnerable populations by connecting those in need with those who can help. Thank you for supporting the efforts of Open Arms Free Clinic. Our gratitude echoes from our patients too....
FOR ONLY $10 A MONTH, YOU COULD PROVIDE $1,200 WORTH OF LIFE-SAVING MEDICATION FOR A PATIENT THIS YEAR!
Donations made by mail may be addressed to:
Open Arms Free Clinic, PO Box 678, Elkhorn, WI 53121.
Thank you in advance for believing in our mission. We appreciate you!
As the organization has grown to allow for more services, it is important to build a strong foundation to support the volunteers and patients so that all who are involved with Open Arms Free Clinic has a pleasant experience.
