Celebrating Our New Rice Lake Clinic

NorthLakes recently celebrated the grand opening of our new integrated Rice Lake facility with a ribbon cutting and community appreciation event. After officially cutting the ribbon, community members enjoyed food, games, music, prizes, and more. We’re grateful to everyone who joined us as we continue our commitment to providing accessible, comprehensive care for families in our region.

NorthLakes Team Serves at Mission of Mercy

We are so proud of our dentist, Dr. Kyle Whiteside, and dental assistant, Tiana Steeno, for volunteering at the 2025 Mission of Mercy event! This two-day clinic provided over 750 patients with free dental care, totaling 850 visits and more than $885,000 in services. Mission of Mercy clinics are powered by volunteers and built on the belief that compassionate care, dignity, and love are essential to healing. We’re grateful to our team for sharing their time and talents to bring care, compassion, and hope to so many.

Shopping Spree Winners Announced

Thanks to ticket sales, we raised $845 in support of NorthLakes’ Farm to Patient Program and the New Program Endowment! Two lucky winners, Colleen Nickolai and Pam Buettner (shopping on behalf of her husband with a broken ankle), each enjoyed a $250 Grocery Shopping Spree at White Lake Market. Congratulations to both of our winners—and thank you to everyone who purchased tickets to support our programs!

Senator Baldwin Visits NorthLakes in Eau Claire

Senator Tammy Baldwin recently toured the NorthLakes Community Clinic in Eau Claire, meeting with clinic leaders and providers to discuss the state of healthcare in our region. The visit—part of her “Fighting for Wisconsin Families Tour”—highlighted our collaborative efforts to improve access to comprehensive, community-based care. We're honored to share our mission with Senator Baldwin and continue our work to support families across Wisconsin.

NorthLakes Teams Celebrate National Night Out 

Our clinics in Oconto, Turtle Lake, and Eau Claire were proud to take part in this year’s National Night Out events! From health and safety resources in Oconto, to one of the area’s largest gatherings in Turtle Lake, to community connections in Eau Claire—it was a great opportunity to come together and celebrate community.
