About the Center

Join the Center as We Celebrate 10 Years of Partnerships
The Center has been fortunate to have ten years of creating deep and meaningful relationships with our community, academic and governmental partners. Our institutional partner support and collaborative efforts over the past decade have assisted in building capacity, synergistic connections and a fertile foundation for improved health in Milwaukee.
This Annual Report is the kick-off of our year-long celebration. We briefly profile a dozen projects here. Each month this year we will provide an in-depth look at one of these projects—sharing the work to date and future plans as well as demonstrating the benefits of 10 years of relationships and organizational memory.
