Business Member Spotlight: Bread of Healing Clinic
by Sanaya R. Bhathena, 2021 PharmD Candidate, Dani M. Schuyler, 2022 PharmD Candidate
"The Bread of Healing Clinic laid its foundation 20 years ago when a parish nurse and a medical resident developed a clinic to serve the uninsured population of Milwaukee. Many patients at their previous workplace, Mt. Sinai, had chronic medical conditions that were undiagnosed and therefore untreated. The Bread of Healing Clinic is now a medical “home” to the many uninsured people of Milwaukee County. Their goal is to provide high-quality primary, specialty, and tertiary care to patients with chronic conditions who are challenged due to socioeconomic constraints. Through their interdisciplinary practice care model, which includes social workers, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, physicians, nutritionists, and many other healthcare professionals, they aim to practice patient-centered care through institutional incorporations."
