Community Connections Free Clinic is a community-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is:

To provide basic health care for those who cannot afford or access medical services in Iowa County and surrounding areas.

CCFC’s guiding principle is that, together, we can eliminate the obstacles to health care in our community, one patient at a time. There is no charge to see our providers, and prescription medications are provided at little or no cost as needed. Our work is accomplished by 127 medical and lay volunteers and two part time staff people, and is supported generously by donations from local individuals, churches, businesses and organizations, as well as grants and fundraising events.

CCFC is in downtown Dodgeville, across the street from the Public Library and City Hall. The entry is handicapped accessible. Through the double glass doors you will see a reception area and comfortable waiting room.
