The Milwaukee location also had free dental services.

“Our Medical Mission at Home is a powerful expression of our mission in action,” Chief Mission Integration Officer at Ascension Wisconsin, Andy Santos, said in a press release. “Access to care remains a significant challenge for many in our communities. By stepping beyond our walls, we meet people where they are, remove barriers, and create meaningful pathways to better health. The dignity and hope restored in these moments are what inspire our volunteers to serve.”
More than 600 people volunteered, including Ascension physicians, nurses, pharmacists, chaplains, associates and more.
