In 1967, at age 23, I arrived in the United States from the University of the Philippines College of Medicine for internship and pediatric residency in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. What began as medical training became a lifelong commitment to serving the community. Over decades as an inner−city pediatrician, Milwaukee became my home,
guided by the Filipino values of service and compassion I carried with me.

In 2000, I noticed a troubling reality: families were missing routine well−baby visits simply because they lacked insurance. With the encouragement of my late husband, Dr. Juanito Singson, and as the first major project of the Philippine Cultural & Civic Center Foundation (PCCCF), I helped establish the Philippine Center Free Medical Clinic (FMC).

Initial funding of $3,000 from the Philippine Medical Association of Wisconsin (PMA−W), along with donated equipment from the Rizal−MacArthur Memorial Foundation (RMMF), made the clinic possible.

What began as a modest, mobile clinic in 2000 has grown into a permanent facility at Zablocki Park in Greenfield, Wisconsin, where it has operated since 2012. Today, the Philippine Center proudly hosts the only Philippine Center in North America with a dedicated Free Medical Clinic. Staffed entirely by volunteers, the FMC has provided more than $4.4 million in free medical care to over 4,000 uninsured and underinsured patients, regardless of race, age, gender, religion, employment, or citizenship status.

Beyond the clinic, I practice Pediatrics with Procare Medical Group. I have organized annual community Health Fairs and led biennial medical missions to San Jose, Batangas, from 2003 to 2015, bridging healthcare gaps both locally and globally. I am equally committed to preserving Filipino culture through leadership in University of the
Philippines Alumni Association of Wisconsin (UPAA−W), chairing the 2024 Golden Gala Fundraiser, co−organizing the Munting Tinig youth choir, and performing ukulele with the multigenerational Philippine Center Strummers.

Together, service and culture continue to unite and uplift our community across generations.

Violeta Ambal-Singson, M.D.
Medical Director, Philippine Free Medical Clinic, Philippine Cultural and Civil Center, Wisconsin

*The Philippine Free Medical Clinic serves the uninsured and underinsured and is open every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month, except during major holidays, weekends and unforeseen circumstances. See its website here. https://philippinecenter.org/community-outreach/free-medical-clinic/

What if one space could serve an entire community? 💙

Right now, our free medical clinic opens its doors every 2nd and 4th Saturday—but for the rest of the month, this valuable space sits unused. That’s about to change.

We’re transforming it into a flexible, multipurpose hub—designed to adapt, evolve, and serve beyond clinic days. With movable furniture and a complete redesign, this space will be ready to host health programs, community gatherings, educational workshops, and so much more.

This isn’t just a renovation—it’s a reimagining of how we care for our community.

Construction begins June 2026, and we invite you to be part of building something bigger than a clinic… a place where people can come together, learn, heal, and grow.

Donate. Sponsor. Share.
Let’s bring this vision to life—together.
