Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Are you avoiding going to the doctor because of those crippling medical bills? Well, if that’s you, worry not. There are a variety of free healthcare resources for students at MATC that you may be unaware of. Today, we’re highlighting health and mental health resources that are completely paid for as a part of your tuition. Students attending MATC have an unprecedented opportunity to access free health services through the Froedtert FASTCare Program, as well as mental health support through the Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) program.
With FASTcare, there are free clinics that offer physicals, immunizations, and minor illness/injury healthcare assistance for students. The clinics are not walk-in, but appointments are plentiful and there are four locations spread across the county for ease of access for students:
- 1271 North 6th Street – McKinley Health Center (414-978-9037)
- 5800 West Layton Avenue – Meijer, Greenfield (262-532-3067)
- N51W24953 Lisbon Road – Meijer, Sussex (262-532-8691)
- 2180 South Main – Street Meijer, West Bend (262-532-3127)
Students must present their Student ID.
With the CAPS program, there are free in-person counseling sessions available for students on each campus. If you prefer a virtual option, that is also available through the college’s partnership with Bettermind. In-person, phone, and virtual services are available by appointment Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., (414-297-7582).
- Downtown Milwaukee Campus – S Building: Room S209
- Mequon Campus – Room A110
- Oak Creek Campus – Room A209
- West Allis – Virtual and phone appointments

Another health resource worth noting is the Dental Clinic offered at the Downtown Campus. The dental services are not included in tuition, and the clinic does charge for their services, but the rates are considerably cheaper than most dental offices.
