About This Cause
The WGMC Health Partnership, also known as the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic (the Clinic), provides qualifying residents of Will and Grundy counties access to the following free services: care coordination, healthcare navigation services, primary care, specialty care, dental care and wellness services. The Clinic also provides low and no-cost medications through our on-site dispensary. The Clinic typically provides services to low income individuals who lack access to health insurance – those who are not insured and who do not have access to health care subsidies such as Medicaid and Medicare. On a case-by-case basis, we also provide free services to individuals who are underinsured, but who lack access to healthcare services they need because of temporary job loss or for other reasons. Beginning in July 2020, we began a new program initiative that extends free care coordination services to individuals who may or may not have access to health insurance, but who are homeless or housing insecure. Addressing health-related needs of people who are homeless or at-risk is a key component of efforts to prevent and end homelessness; and stable housing is fundamental to both maintaining good health and minimizing the costs of unnecessary emergency room utilization and hospital admissions. The goal of this initiative is to maximize access to healthcare for homeless and housing insecure individuals. In July 2021, we added emergency shelter and homeless outreach services to the program.
