Clinic Programs

Farm to Patient

Our fresh food program connects you with a free box of organic, locally grown fruits and vegetables twice a month throughout the growing season. You’ll also get simple recipes, nutrition education, and support for making healthy changes that fit your life.

Fresh produce can make a real difference in how you feel. At each pick-up, our Community Health Workers are there to answer questions and cheer you on.

Chronic Pain Group

This is an 8-week, ongoing, small group program to help reduce and manage chronic pain. New research shows the brain plays a bigger role in pain than we once thought—even after the body has healed. Pain Reprocessing Therapy works with that connection to help reduce pain for good.  In this small-group program, you’ll:

  • Learn how the brain processes pain
  • Understand your own pain experience
  • Build skills to retrain your brain and get relief

For more information and to see if this might be a good fit fro you, call the Ashland clinic at (715) 682-2200 and ask Dr. Allen to contact you.

We work with you to find ways to pay. We accept Medicaid/BadgerCare, Medicare, and most insurance. We can help you get insurance and apply for our Sliding Fee.

If you are having an emergency, call 9-1-1. To talk with a nurse, call your local clinic and choose option 2. For after-hours help, call (888) 834-4551.

Life can be complicated. We listen and may be able to help with things like rides to appointments, food, housing, family needs, and paying for care.
