🌱 The Native Wellness Garden has been gifted ancestral seeds from local Native tribal organizations, and we're excited to share their journey! With the help of volunteers and staff, we cleared and prepped the soil, built a trellis to support the growing beans, and have been caring for them as they get closer to harvest. Here's a first look as they sprout through the soil as they start to tell a powerful story of tradition, community and food sovereignty. 🌿

Our Story

The Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center (GLIIHC) grew out of an awareness in the 1970s of the poor health of Milwaukee’s Native American community. Since its inception, GLIIHC has tripled in size and besides the medical clinic, houses a pharmacy, dental clinic, behavioral health center and a fitness center that is used by our physical therapist.

We provide comprehensive and culturally sensitive health care for the whole family. Tradition reminds us that in order to heal, every part of a human being must be addressed: The mind, body, spirit, and emotions. Our team strives to improve the essential health, peace and well-being of those that reside in the metropolitan Milwaukee area.

Your treatment encompasses the whole family, including the community. Located in the heart of Milwaukee’s near South Side, at 930 W. Historic Mitchell St., your urban Indian health center’s medical, wellness, cultural, spiritual and social services are available for people of all tribes, races, and ethnicities.
