City on a Hill health clinic closes, resource fair helps connect displaced patients

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- City on a Hill, a long-standing community health clinic in Milwaukee, has permanently closed due to a lack of funding, according to organization leaders. Officials say they ran out of time to find alternatives.

Safe and Sound, Health Connections Inc. and the Milwaukee Black Grassroots Network for Health Equity hosted a resource fair Saturday, June 6 to connect people who relied on the clinic with new community care providers.

Services affected include diabetes screenings and monitoring and access to healthy food.

"Some of the patients we took in as ours at Health Connection Inc. so they can go ahead and get the services that they need," said Ericka Sinclair, CEO and founder of Health Connections Inc.

Anyone affected by the closure can call (414) 919-1099.
