Free Healthcare For Uninsured
Thanks to our members, volunteer doctors and generous donors, we offer free healthcare for people without insurance who cannot afford our Personal Physician Plan.
How It Works
Our free clinic for uninsured patients operates on a walk-in basis.
For morning appointments register in person from 6:30am-9am. For afternoon appointments register between 9am-1pm in person.
After registering, you may leave, but you MUST return at 9:00 AM (morning appointments) or 1:00 PM (afternoon appointments) to receive your appointment time.
Our Lady of Hope Clinic is located on Madison Metro Route F, stop Allen + University. The clinic is located on the second floor. The entrance is on the rear of the building. We are closed on weekends.
Some days, the need for our services will be greater than our capacity to provide care. On those occasions, we may invite you to return another day
We Become Your Doctor
An Our Lady of Hope Clinic doctor becomes the primary care provider for those who qualify for services. We will continue to provide routine health care on a walk-in basis.
Non-English Speakers
We do not have full-time interpreters on staff, therefore we ask you to bring an adult English-speaking family member with you for your visit if you need an interpreter.
Everything is managed very well. It’s helpful to be able to purchase medicine at a good price. Because we aren’t able to have medical insurance, we would be in a lot of trouble without the clinic. Thank you so much!”

The Problem
Each year about one in nine Wisconsinites goes without health insurance. Without access to basic health care, manageable conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol often go untreated until they turn into serious problems that result in preventable emergency room visits or hospitalizations. The support of our members and donors makes it possible for us to offer the majority of our medical visits at no cost to the uninsured.
Our Lady of Hope Clinic has donated over 20,000 free Clinic visits to provide care for the uninsured in our community who would not otherwise have access to a doctor. While government programs like BadgerCare Plus and Medicaid provide care for the poorest, “working poor” families are often ineligible for medical assistance. Their jobs don’t provide health benefits and they can’t afford to purchase insurance on their own. The result is that many individuals and families today are still left without access to a physician.
The Solution
Through the generosity of our members and donors, Our Lady of Hope Clinic is the first free primary care clinic in the Madison area to help uninsured patients get healthy and stay healthy. At least 55% of our appointments serve uninsured patients and families. This innovative solution is driven by our mission to love God and love people by helping them get the healthcare they need.
Our Lady of Hope Clinic is honored to continue the longstanding Catholic healthcare tradition of providing corporal works of mercy to those in need.
