Have you chosen someone you trust to make healthcare decisions for you in case of illness?
An advance directive describes, in writing, treatments you want or do not want. It tells others what to do with your care if you get injured and cannot express your wishes. You can complete an advance directive if you are 18 or older and of sound mind.
Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) has advance directive forms online. These forms are meant for you to complete without needing help from an attorney.
If interested in filling out paperwork that express your wishes, please come to a walk-in session or contact Kristin Simonson or Candace Coates for an appointment. Appointments take first priority. Call (414) 727-6320 to schedule an appointment.
Advance Directive Care Planning 2024: 10/21, 11/18, 12/16 (Third Monday of the month).
What to bring with you:
Name, address and phone number of the people you trust to make healthcare decisions for you if you are unable to.
Appointments are open to patients and staff.

"According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), harm reduction is critical to keeping people who use drugs alive and as healthy as possible. Therefore, Behavioral Health Services of Milwaukee County Department of Health & Human Services has partnered with agencies to increase Milwaukee County residents’ access to harm reduction and prevention via vending machines." - county.milwaukee.gov

Take back your meds today and potentially save a life. 70% of opioid addictions start at home – often from unused medicine left in the medicine cabinets. Flushing unused medicine down the toilet or placing it in the trash only sends it to Lake Michigan and our waterways – the source of our drinking water – because waste treatment systems are not designed to break down medicine.
There’s only one safe way to dispose of unused prescription medication: at a drug take-back site. Outreach Community Health Centers is dedicated to making it easier for you to combat the opioid crisis by helping you safely dispose of unused prescription medicine at our secure take back my meds drop box.
Upcoming events.
