Community-based Chronic Disease Management (CCDM) Clinic

Overview
The Community-based Chronic Disease Management (CCDM) clinic is a collaboration of Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital and the Medical College of Wisconsin, which screens and manages hypertension, diabetes, obesity and smoking. The clinic addresses barriers to health services for low-income adults who are at risk of developing chronic diseases. By establishing clinics in nontraditional locations, such as food pantries, and offering screening, referral and management services; low-cost drugs; at-cost diabetic supplies; and preventative education, CCDM clinic contributes to the prevention of chronic disease complications among Milwaukee’s most vulnerable populations.

The CCDM clinic is based in New Life Food Pantry Wednesdays from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm and 1:00 - 5:00 pm at 205 East Concordia Ave. The clinic’s hours of operation coincide with those of the food pantry in efforts to meet people where they naturally go on a regular basis.
