Church Health Services

What Church Health Services does

Church Health Services, Inc. is a 501c(3) non-profit, ecumenical Christian-based healthcare organization headquartered at 115 N. Center Street, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, founded in 1993 by a local physician and a pastor. The organization delivers dental care, mental health counseling, medical supply assistance, and food pantry services to low-income uninsured and underinsured individuals and families whose household income falls below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. Patients are charged on a sliding scale based on income, and Wisconsin State Medicaid plus certain Medicaid HMO plans are accepted, with services scheduled by phone following eligibility verification.

The operational portfolio consists of a Dental Clinic (opened March 2014 with four complete suites), a state-certified Mental Health clinic offering Level 1 AODA counseling, an in-school counseling program embedded in Dodge and Fond du Lac county school districts, free prescription medication and diabetic supply assistance, and a 24/7 Little Free Pantry. No proprietary technology platform is operated; services are delivered through conventional clinical workflows and community-based outreach. The organization employs over 30 paid staff and is supported by over 100 volunteers, with clinical capacity supplemented by partnerships with area congregations running a parish nurse program.

Revenue is generated through three streams: charitable donations from individuals, businesses, service clubs, churches, and foundations (including United Way, Wal-Mart Foundation, Delta Dental of Wisconsin, DentaQuest, Green Bay Packer Foundation, Wisconsin Dental Association, and the Beaver Dam Area Community Foundation); Wisconsin Medicaid reimbursements; and sliding-scale patient fees. The go-to-market approach is community-led, relying on school district partnerships, church networks, and local resource referrals rather than paid acquisition, with patients accessing services by appointment only after an intake and eligibility approval process.
