First Presbyterian Church in Wausau is laying out plans for a free medical clinic in its basement.

If the plans are approved by City Council next week, it will be the first of its kind in Wausau.

Right now, according to Jeff Todd, a volunteer with the project and former hospital administrator, Wausau is the largest city in Wisconsin that doesn’t have a free clinic.

The plan has a reception area, four exam rooms and would be able to treat people with non-emergent injuries and illnesses.

It would be staffed by doctors and nurses volunteering their time.

Todd says he has already heard from many area medical professionals interested in helping.

The project would be funded by grants and donations.
