‘Help families:’ Next Step Clinic, winner of Marquette’s first-ever ‘President’s Challenge’ opens

The Next Step Clinic, the recipient of the inaugural Marquette University President’s Challenge in 2019, hosted its grand opening on Wednesday, Jan. 8 at its location within the Family Success Center of the Next Door Foundation.

"The Next Step Clinic is designed to help families have access to developmental and mental health services in the city. In the past, families have had to go very far outside of the city and there are long waiting lists to get their children seen," said Amy Van Hecke, Next Step Clinic Executive Co-Director.
