Milwaukee Cares

Project Description Narrative:

Milwaukee has the largest minority population and the highest concentration of families living in poverty. The city is in need of improvements to its health service infrastructure in order to better serve its overwhelmingly poor minority population.

This project will develop MilwaukeeCares, which will provide appropriate access to free, episodic, primary and specialty care; hospital services; and medication through the creation of a voluntary network of physicians, health professionals, hospitals, and pharmaceutical services. This program’s creation will ensure uninsured and poor Milwaukee County residents can access high quality care, and achieve better health status.

Community partners: Medical Society of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin Medical Society Foundation
