Vaccine Update

Both Minnesota and Wisconsin are relying on community health centers to be central to their statewide mass-vaccination efforts. Lake Superior Community Health Center began vaccinating patients in late January, 2021. LSCHC currently offers same day appointments for vaccines for all eligible ages. Both Pfizer and Moderna are available.

If you feel you qualify for a booster based on your age, risk, or for any reason, do not hesitate to call 218-722-1497 in Duluth or 715-392-1955 in Superior. Our staff are standing by to help make sure you are protected as possible.

LSCHC continues to receive guidance from both Minnesota and Wisconsin Departments of Health, and will update this post should guidance change.

We stand for equity and justice for ALL

Lake Superior Community Health Center (LSCHC) stands for equity and justice for ALL. Born out of the civil rights and social justice movement of the 1960s, Community Health Centers like LSCHC serve as advocates for quality care and health equity for everyone in the communities we serve. For nearly 50 years, LSCHC has advanced this important cause by maintaining and promoting culturally competent values and practices for every one of our remarkable patients and employees.

We prioritize the provision of respectful, inclusive and affirmative care in our region. We recognize that each of us has unique needs requiring equally unique responses.  That’s why we maintain the range of experience and expertise necessary to bring health, hope, and peace of mind to all of our patients - no matter their age, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, insurance status or ability to pay.

From the foundational roots of the movement we represent, we are committed to communicating and acting with knowledge and understanding about the distinct health concerns and barriers to care we each face. Because from top to bottom we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to be healthy.
