Our Hard Working Team
Jim Strachota, Executive Director Since April 2014, it has been my privilege to serve as Executive Director. During this time, we have seen significant change including our physical location, addition of behavioral health and dental care and many strides with the Affordable Health Care Act.
I will do my best to support those without access to health care. This can be accomplished by communicating the need of the Clinic and be at the forefront of the ever changing health care needs of our community. Personally I have lived in West Bend for over 30 years. I have served on several Boards including the United Way (Past President), Family Center, Wisconsin Council in Disabilities, Several Youth Sport Associations and the Arthritis Foundation. My education includes a Master’s degree in education from the University of Idaho and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Communications. I welcome and appreciate any feedback on how we can improve our services at the Albrecht Free Clinic. |
Lynn Pasbrig RN,BSNLynn is a graduate of the UWM School of Nursing and has worked in Obstetrics, Pediatrics, School Health, and Public Health. Roles in these setting have varied from general staffing, case management, education, supervision of nursing students, and independent practice. All of this experience has proved to be valuable preparation for the Clinic Coordinator position as the Albrecht Free Clinic.
Lynn became the Clinic Coordinator in Sept. 1999 and worked directly with Dr. James E. Albrecht, the founder of the clinic. After his passing, Lynn assumed full responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the clinic while the Medical Director provided guidance on medical issues. Since that time, there are twice as many clinics each month and more than 4 times the number of patient visits each year. Although the organizational structure of the clinic has changed in recent years, she can still be found at most clinic sessions. For the wife of a Lutheran minister and mother of seven, “caring” comes naturally. Lynn firmly believes that we are our “brother’s keeper” and that her many blessings motivate her daily to give to others. The Albrecht Free Clinic has given Lynn many opportunities to do just that. She hopes that the services offered here will continue to meet the needs of Washington County even as health care changes the nation. |

Prior to the AFC, Alissa worked a pool position at Children’s Hospital as a critical care nurse. She resides in West Bend with her husband, and two children.
