Walker's Point Community Clinic

Walkers Point Community Clinic, formerly the Madison Street Clinic, is a fully benevolent health clinic on the south side of Milwaukee. The clinic serves inner city families without insurance who cannot afford health care. The clinic sees patients for general health exams Monday through Thursday each week. In September 2002, Wisconsin Optometric Association volunteer doctors began seeing children and adults for comprehensive eye exams at the clinic on Fridays. The WOA is proud to offer this unique community service in Wisconsin’s most needy urban setting.

The initial reason for opening the eye clinic was, and still is to see as many children as possible each Friday. With the passing of the Wisconsin Children's Vision Law in the fall of 2001, all incoming kindergartners are encouraged to receive either a comprehensive eye exam by an optometrist or screening by a physician before entering school. The WOA has always held a vested interest in promoting healthy and safe eye care for ALL children, knowing how important it is to a child’s development and everyday life.

Who can be seen?   
The first priority for vision appointments go to children under 18,  however, if time permits, adults may be examined as well. Families must have NO health insurance that covers eye care. Spanish interpreters are available for those who do not speak English.
