History/Description:

OLHC was founded by doctors Michael Kloess and Anne Volk Johnson in the spring of 2009. The clinic was established to address the issue of lack of primary medical care for the uninsured in our community, in addition to the lack of authentically-Catholic medical care. While Dr. Johnson resigned in late 2011, Dr. Kloess remains our attending physician and Executive Director.

In the past eight years, OLHC has made some important strides by increasing the number of free services we are able to provide; all while keeping in our Pro-life mission, as well as remaining fiscally responsible. In the summer of 2012, blood draws became available at our on-site laboratory. At that time, our clinic established a relationship with Madison’s St. Mary’s Hospital, in which the Hospital’s laboratory tests our patient’s samples, and returns the results to Dr. Kloess, free of charge. Our partnership with St. Mary’s has proven to be very positive, and the Hospital has consistently renewed it every year.

Our clinic currently gives away approximately 75% of our clinic visits to our uninsured recipient patients. This is due, in part to our generous donors. However, the majority of our financial support comes from our Member patients. Although our Member base is continually growing, we have 140 members as of January 2017. Additionally, Dr. Mike consults in women’s health issues on a fee-for-service basis. His NFP patients make up our clinic’s third patient population.
