Mission Statement
 The mission of the Wyandotte Clinic for the Working
Uninsured, PC is to provide quality primary medical care to the
working poor. The Clinic exists to help adult uninsured workers
improve and maintain good health by providing primary and preventive
care, education and/or referral so that they may continue to work to
support themselves and their families.
Initiative
The number of uninsured working adults continues to grow and has
impacted Southeastern Michigan and metropolitan Detroit areas more
severely than most due to our industrial and manufacturing
environment. As jobs vanish and more businesses are forced to cut back
expenses, health care coverage continues to diminish. Due to the
emergent healthcare crisis, national and state initiatives are being
developed to provide assistance for the uninsured, however, the need
on the local level is not being answered. Therefore, addressing health
care for the growing uninsured population has become a priority. The
intention is to provide appropriate and prompt primary and preventive
care thereby decreasing the burden on local hospital Emergency Rooms
by addressing patients’ medical needs before they become acute. The
care is delivered by volunteer doctors, nurses, and other medical
professionals who donate their time to help the community.
