Personalized healthcare for uninsured patients in Wisconsin
The Tayo Clinic
Your Path to Wellness
Who We Are
The Mission of The Tayo Clinic is to provide free healthcare to uninsured and homebound Wisconsin based patients through Telehealth services.
Approximately 5.9% of Wisconsin residents do not have medical insurance making up to about 300,000-350,000 people. Of those without insurance, it is estimated that at least 9,700 people are homebound with an additional 50,000 - 100,000 people facing barriers to medical care due to physical illness, distrust in healthcare facilities, or lack of transportation. The Tayo Clinic goal is to help this patient population with medical resources.
​
The Tayo Clinic telehealthcare is designed to fill the need for medically seeking patients who are both uninsured and homebound. Our virtual primary care assessments are designed to help isolated patients make informed decisions in whether they can treat themselves at home or if they need to seek advance medical attention at a hospital. We believe spiritual, physical, and mental healthcare is a fundamental human right for all people. We strive to connect those without access to healthcare to compassionate medical providers while working with community partners who further empower patient autonomy.

How Do Our Services Work?
​​​​​
Our goal is to specifically help support isolated or homebound patients with no insurance. As a newly formed volunteer based organization, we have limited capacity and resources in providing telehealth services. There are free walk-in clinics and urgent care services that can offer comprehensive care available to able-bodied patients and those with insurance.
Our online services are designed to provide basic health care assessments through a video conference that is recorded within your medical chart. There are some medical conditions that require in person visits, blood draws, and all other physical procedures that the Tayo Clinic is not equipped to provide. On occasion home visits may be performed on a case by case basis. We encourage you to seek urgent care and call 911 if you are experiencing a medical emergency.

How do our services benefit you?
Our medical providers can help with writing medical notes and referrals for ongoing care, in addition to helping write prescriptions such as antibiotics. We ask for any previous medical notes that could help us diagnose you better. Some medical conditions may require lab work and testing that we could write prescriptions and referrals for, but you would be responsible for paying out of pocket. We are not equipped to treat complex cases such as cancer treatment or behavioral health, but may be able to help with holistic recommendations on a case by case basis.
Our vision is to one day have volunteers be able to make home visits to isolated and uninsured patients, otherwise we recommend all patients to have an electronic blood pressure machine, pulse oximeter, and thermometer to take their own vitals at home. Written electronic prescriptions can be called in, and also can be given to patients so they can take it to their most convenient location for medication or lab work. We provide these services to people living or visiting Wisconsin due to our limitation of having Wisconsin based medical licenses and Wisconsin based liability insurance.
