2011 Children's Hospital of Wisconsin Visits
Children's Hospital of Wisconsin hosted tours of the hospital's NICU, PICU, Herma Heart Center, Family Resource Center and inpatient school classroom with federal and state policy makers. In the course of each of the tours, Children's Hospital leaders focused discussions on access to care, importance of Medicaid, and critical funding for children's hospital graduate medical education.
"There is no better way to advocate before policymakers and explain what we do at Children's Hospital than have them see it for themselves." said Peggy Troy, President & CEO, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. "Every time they think about Medicaid or children's hospital graduate medical education funding they can reflect back on the children and families they met."
