Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center, Inc.
Description
The mission of the Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center is to improve the health, peace, and welfare of Milwaukee's urban Indian community.
Tradition reminds us that in order to heal, every part of a human being must be addressed - the mind, body, spirit, and emotions. It does not stop there; it also involves the whole family including the community.
The Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center (GLIIHC) grew out of an awareness in the 1970s of the poor health of Milwaukee’s Native American community. Since its inception, GLIIHC has tripled in size and besides the medical clinic, houses a pharmacy, dental clinic, behavioral health center and a fitness center that is used by our physical therapist.
We provide comprehensive and culturally sensitive health care for the whole family. Tradition reminds us that in order to heal, every part of a human being must be addressed: The mind, body, spirit, and emotions.
