Beaver Dam put the two together to help people who lack health insurance. Steve Busalacchi reports. Church Health Services opened in 1993, thanks to the efforts of Doctor Mike Augustson and other volunteers. Doctor Augustson, of the State Medical Society of Wisconsin, shared his vision for a free clinic with a local pastor, and eventually the dream was born. Doctor Augustson says physicians throughout Wisconsin could start similar clinics in their communities.
