The purpose of the Rock River Health Care Network (HealthWorks) is to increase health equity in the greater Jefferson County area by specifically focusing on low-income individuals’ access to primary care. Formed in 2020 through a HRSA network grant, HealthWorks is comprised of eight local organizations that have a long history of collaboration:

Rock River Community Clinic

Fort HealthCare

Watertown Regional Medical Center

Jefferson County Health Department

Jefferson County Human Services Department

Greater Watertown Community Health Foundation

Madison Area Technical College

Rainbow Community Care

The Network’s overarching project goals are to:

  • 1
    Improve the quality, coordination and cost of health care services at the Network member health care provider entities.
  • 2
    Increase community member access to health care service.
  • 3
    Improve health outcomes for the target population, through strengthened and expanded services under a newly established FQHC.
