GUN VIOLENCE RESOURCES

The Medical Society of Milwaukee County (MSMC) is working to spotlight the devastating impact of firearm injuries on children. Through this work we hope that collective attention will be brought to this critical issue and help implement practices that will significantly reduce the incidence and impact of these tragedies in our community, including making a donation to the Children's Hospital Safe at Home Program. The Safe at Home Program helps provide gun safes to families at risk for gun violence, with the aim of decreasing firearm injuries. Please view the below links and articles to learn more about this issue and how you can help make a difference.

Free & Community Clinic Collaborative

The Medical Society of Milwaukee County joins the Milwaukee Health Care Partnership in supporting the Free and Community Clinic Collaborative (FC3), a coalition of safety-net clinics, which strive to provide quality primary care, urgent care, and seamless navigation to affordable insurance for low-income, underinsured patients in Milwaukee County.

MSCW recognizes the importance of free and community clinics to the health of our Milwaukee County neighbors in need, and encourages primary care physicians, specialist physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and other providers and community health care workers to volunteer. 

In this new era of health care, we invite you to visit the FC3 website to see current volunteer opportunities, news updates from the FC3, videos of the clinics and their volunteers, and learn more about liability and volunteer criteria.
