Our Mission
The Open Door Clinic, Inc. is a non-profit organization that provides basic
health care services to Chippewa County residents who are without a health care alternative.
Nationally, it is estimated that eight to ten percent of the American population has no health
insurance. In Chippewa County, that equates to 5,600 neighbors without health insurance. "The people who
are most at risk today are those who have no health insurance at all. They're at risk of not getting
regular care when they need it." ~Sherry Glied Phd, Columbia University
