About NHHF

The Northern Highland Health Foundation Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that was founded in 2024 by and is governed by a volunteer board of directors to support the communities of Manitowish Waters, Mercer, Oma, Presque Isle, Sherman, and Winchester.

Our Mission is to improve access to affordable, quality health and wellness services in the Northern Highland Region of Wisconsin. The Foundation will do this by providing financial resources to quality health and wellness services.

The community was deeply concerned about the lack of local clinic, lab and pharmacy after having this valuable resource for more than 30 years. A local group came together to identify ways to help fill this void and out of that the Foundation was formed with the goal of involving our communities in resolving unmet medical and wellness needs. A small group of dedicated volunteers is finding their way to standing up the Foundation and taking on our first big project, with many more to come. The Board would welcome community engagement and involvement.
