Wisconsin HealthCorps / Wisconsin Primary Health Care Association
The Wisconsin HealthCorps is a statewide AmeriCorps program whose overarching mission is to increase access to care for all Wisconsinites. During your year of service, you will be placed in community health centers, public health departments, and health-focused nonprofits to serve our state’s most vulnerable populations. Depending on your placement, you may serve in capacities including but not limited to: certified health application counselors, volunteer coordinators, and community resources navigators.
“Wisconsin HealthCorps is building a work force that understands state healthcare policy and systems and training its members to become advocates and service leaders in their future careers. I am applying to medical school this year and I will definitely be bringing with me the lessons I’ve learned in my service year with Wisconsin HealthCorps.”

“My time with the HealthCorps has been one of the most rewarding experiences. It taught me about how systems work and how systems can be set up to be barriers for others. It also taught me to be more understanding and empathetic when working with underserved populations.”

“I gained invaluable experience as a health educator and learning from really great professionals at the host site. Many of my coworkers provided great advice as to how to pursue my career. There’s also a lot of respect and value that comes with putting AmeriCorps/HealthCorps on my resume. However, this program isn’t just a resume-builder; I am so glad I was able to find this program and get into the field I want to straight out of college. It was an efficient way to get my foot in the door and make connections with potential employers in the future.”

“I came into AmeriCorps not knowing a single thing about public health and now I’m leaving AmeriCorps as a public health advocate and young public health professional. And I’m excited!”
