Red Cliff Community Health Center

What Red Cliff Community Health Center does

Red Cliff Community Health Center (RCCHC) is a tribal community health center operated by the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, headquartered at 36745 Aiken Road, Bayfield, Wisconsin, on the Red Cliff Reservation. Founded in 1988 with a state-of-the-art replacement facility built in 2014, the center delivers integrated medical, dental, pharmacy, behavioral health, and community health services to the Red Cliff community and the broader Wisconsin South Shore region. Service breadth spans primary adult and pediatric care, women's health, radiology, optometry, chiropractic and physical therapy, podiatry, mammograms, dietitian services, comprehensive dental care (preventative, restorative, pediatric), in-house pharmacy, and a robust behavioral health portfolio including AODA counseling, CCS, CST, Native Connections, and the Noojimo'iwewin (We Heal) recovery drop-in center.

Underlying technology includes the RX30 pharmacy computer system, Parata automated dispensing robot, IHS Personal Health Record integration, and the RefillRX online refill portal — supporting efficient prescription management and patient self-service. The center operates six behavioral health locations across the region, including embedded school-based counselors at Bayfield and Washburn Public Schools, plus the Mishomis Wellness Center and Noojimo'iwewin Center.

RCCHC's revenue model combines insurance billing for non-tribal patients (most insurances accepted), federal grant funding (notably SAMHSA grants for behavioral health), and primary funding from the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa for serving community members. Per the National Health Service Corp Agreement and RCCHC billing policy, enrolled Red Cliff tribal members and other federally recognized tribal members are not billed for services, and no patient is denied access due to inability to pay. With 101–250 employees, the center functions as a comprehensive, government-supported FQHC whose go-to-market is community-led service delivery rather than commercial sales.
