Posoh Mawanew Weyak (Hello Everyone!)" The Menominee Tribal Clinic at W3275 Wolf River Road in Keshena is the main health clinic serving the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin and the communities that make up nearly all of Menominee County. The clinic provides scheduled appointments Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and accepts appointments by phone at 715-799-3361 or through online scheduling links for routine and specialty care.

The clinic maintains a patient portal, a department directory, and provider profiles that list physicians, nurse practitioners, dentists and psychiatric consultants. Those services, together with links for billing and patient registration, are designed to make it easier for families to find primary care, dental care and behavioral health services within the reservation communities of Keshena, Neopit, Middle Village, Zoar and South Branch.

Billing and eligibility rules emphasize community access. Under the clinic billing policy Billing 103 the facility exists primarily to serve the Menominee community. Enrolled Menominee tribal members generally will not be billed for services. Patients who are enrolled members of other federally recognized tribes or descendants of enrolled members must provide proof of enrollment and once verified generally will not be billed. The clinic states no one will be denied access to services because they cannot pay, in alignment with the National Health Service Agreement.
