Vision
The vision of the Marquette Neighborhood Health Center is to reduce health disparities by delivering quality health care to adults and children in the Milwaukee metropolitan area and to provide clinical education to nursing students.
   
Mission Statement
Our mission emerges from the mission of Marquette University and the College of Nursing, reflecting commitment to excellence, faith, leadership and service. Moreover, our mission is guided by the Catholic Church’s vision of health care as a continuation of the healing ministry of Jesus Christ. Health care, guided by professional codes of nursing, is based on respect for all persons and their cultures, concern for ethical values, and a holistic approach. We strive to enhance opportunities for education, scholarship and research for nursing faculty and students through using and studying best practices and innovative approaches to nursing care and service delivery.
   
Approach to Care

The Marquette Neighborhood Health Center is designed as a nurse managed health center, under the auspices of the Marquette University College of Nursing, providing community access to health care services while enhancing educational opportunities for nursing students.

Certified Advanced Practice Registered Nurses provide high quality health care that is evidence-based, ensures individualized approaches and includes a preventive focus. Graduate and undergraduate students participate in client care under faculty supervision. Referral for services, such as specialized medical care, physical therapy, nutrition counseling, emergency care and hospitalization is provided as needed. Physician consultation is available to discuss care management guidelines and to collaborate on individual client plans if the complexity or seriousness of a client’s situation warrants. If admitted to the hospital, a client’s care is managed by a hospitalist (acute care physician specialist) which is commonly done in other primary care practices.

   
Description of Services
The Marquette Neighborhood Health Center provides services to adults and children. Services include primary care, health promotion, physical examinations, and diagnosis and treatment of common illnesses. Any agency or individual may refer clients or themselves to the Health Center. Assistance with financial eligibility for state or county health programs is provided and families are guided in the application process if eligible. Services are provided without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, ethnic background, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, marital or parental status, religion, age, disability or perceived disability, or veteran's status.
