In 2008, Bishop Daniels opened the CH Mason Community Health Clinic in partnership with St. Michael’s Hospital located on Milwaukee's northwest side.
The clinic provided services, referrals, preventative medicine, testing, community outreach and counseling services.
The health clinic also provided services and health information to the Holy Redeemer Senior Citizen Complex and the Holy Redeemer Christian Academy students and the community at large.
After the closing of the St. Michael’s Hospital, the clinic then partnered with Aurora Health Care who assigned and provided a parish nurse to oversee the day-to-day operation of the health clinic.
