Incorporated in May 1970, the Cream City Neighborhood Health Center was established to provide health care services to those in the inner-city areas of Milwaukee. The CCNHC was a comprehensive, prepaid, ambulatory, group practice health care delivery system designed to service residents who had long been programmed out of the traditional health care system. The CCNHC delivery system sought to alleviate the problems of spiralling costs, medical manpower shortage, crisis-oriented treatment, and unequal accessibility. The organization was later dissolved.

The general files of the Cream City Neighborhood Health Center contain memos, committee agendas and minutes, correspondence, and program proposals. Also included in the collection are applications to the Office of Economic Opportunity and a socio-economic study of the Milwaukee area.
