What's New at WAFCC?
NAFCC SummitFrom Oct. 24rd - 25th, several of our staff members (Dennis Skrajewski - Executive Director, Danine Casper - Business Manager, and Heather Ule - Program Manager) joined the NAFCC Conference in Indianapolis, IN. This was a wonderful opportunity to network with clinics and other state associations to share ideas, lessons learned, and best practices.
Alongside the Illinois Association of Free and Charitable Clinics (IAFCC) and Second Opinions, we presented "So How Much is it?" - a discussion focused on an ongoing initiative to bring a universal method for valuing free and charitable clinic services and costs that is consistent and evidence-based. |

Equitable Vaccination Network
Our partnership with Sostento through their Equitable Vaccination Network (EVN) has allowed us to provide supplemental support to Wisconsin FCCs that, to date, they have administered over 32,000 vaccinations to the uninsured and underserved populations. Check out the videos of Open Arms Free Clinic and Health Connections experience in the network.
Open Arms Free Clinic - Elkhorn, Wisconsin
The COVID-19 pandemic presented unprecedented challenges to rural nonprofits like the Open Arms Free Clinic in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. Through the network, they were able to help inform, protect, and provide a safe space for their patients. Watch the video to get their full story and a reveal of how they are going above and beyond to reach even more patients!
Health Connections - Milwaukee, Wisconsin
For Health Connections, the COVID-19 pandemic meant finding new ways to serve Milwaukee. Through the network, Health Connections could connect with like-minded organizations in these difficult times to draw strength and share knowledge. Watch the video to get their full story and see how they even vaccinated beyond their clinic to mitigate the pandemic.
