Outreach Community Health Centers host Virtual Annual Meeting On January 26, 2022, Outreach Community Health Centers (OCHC) hosted their Virtual Annual Meeting. The theme for this year's meeting was "Building on our past to strengthen and guide our future." Guest speakers included U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin, County Executive David Crowley, Acting Mayor Cavalier Johnson; and Chief Community Impact and Advocacy Officer for Ascension Wisconsin Reginald Newson. The meeting was well attended by more than 140 staff members, key community leaders and community health partners. Attendees had the opportunity to learn more about the importance of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) such as OCHC, and about their plans to build a new 58,000 square-foot addition west of its existing 210 W. Capitol Drive location. The addition will expand OCHC's capacity to serve more patients and provide critical behavioral health and primary care services to Milwaukee's uninsured, underinsured and homeless populations. Pictured at the event are OCHC Board Chariman Warner Jackson; OCHC Marketing Director Penelope Stewart; OCHC Board Director Camelia Clark, DBA; and OCHC Board Co-Chairman James W. Hill.

On Wednesday, February 2, 2022, Milwaukee Academy of Science High School student Emmanuel Stoffel (center), signed a letter of commitment to attend Concordia St. Paul University in St. Paul, MN. Emmanuel, or "El," is a young man who has never given up. He grew up in a single parent home, though his father, Larry Allen, did not live with him, his dad was nevertheless a major influence on him growing up. His father instilled in him the importance of hard work and being a leader. His father always supported him in his school work and was key to introducing him to his passion for sports. Unfortunately, in 2019 El lost his father in a fatal car accident. While such a tragic loss may have phased another, El rallied and focused even more on his goals, as it was always his father's wish that his children would have the best. El earned a 3.5 GPA and in 2021 Milwaukee Academy of Science created a football team and El was finally able to play for his own school. He was scouted by Concordia St. Paul and was offered a full ride athletic and academic scholarship. Pictured at the signing are El with his mother, Lula Rogers (left) and his sister, Akilah Allen who were there when he signed.
Dr. Frankie Felder hosts signing and discussion of new book On Friday February 4, 2022, at Coffee Make You Black, 2803 N. Teutonia Ave., Dr. Frankie O. Felder, Ed.D., gave a reading from her book, "OURstory Unchained and Liberated from History." The book is a major contribution to correcting the great wrong in history which has pretty much ignored the heroic efforts of black soldiers who put on Union uniforms to prove their willingness to fight for freedom, citizenship and voting rights. There was a book signing and discussion by the group about the presentation given.
