Milwaukee Health Services, Inc.

Milwaukee Health Services, Inc. (MHSI), was founded in 1989 as the Isaac Coggs Health Connection by community leaders seeking to provide primary health care services for the African American population on the north side of Milwaukee's inner city. As a Federally Qualified Health Center, MHSI today offers medical (adult and pediatric), dental, behavioral health, benefits assistance, and pharmacy services.

With funding from CMHS/SAMHSA, MHSI's Behavioral Health Services Center (BHSC), in partnership with the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin (ARCW), has expanded mental health service delivery to African American and Hispanic/Latino(a) clients living with HIV in southeastern Wisconsin. ARCW, established in 1985, is the largest provider of HIV prevention and treatment services for people with HIV/AIDS and their families in Wisconsin.

The partnership between BHSC and ARCW has augmented the resources of each program. Services for this initiative may be accessed at the Isaac Coggs Health Center and at ARCW locations in Milwaukee and Kenosha. Services include individual, couple/family, and group therapy, as well as psychiatric evaluation and medication management. Clients may also be referred to case management services and/or primary and specialty medical care.

The Principal Investigator/Project Director is Michael Bell, MD; the Clinical Director is Gary Hollander, PhD. For more information, please call 414/286-8886 or go to http://www.mhsi.org/.
