Several teams from MCW are present at today’s Juneteenth event in ! Visit one of our three booths to learn more about how MCW is working with the community to strive for better health outcomes for all.

Four years of dedication, growth, and exceptional patient care — and it all led to this moment.

On June 13, we honored our graduating PGY4 ophthalmology residents at a celebration with faculty, fellows, and loved ones who made it all possible.

Congratulations, Class of 2026. We are so proud of everything you've accomplished and can't wait to see what you do next.

We were honored to present Governor Tony Evers with the 2025–2026 MCW Knowledge Changing Life Commendation.

MCW President & CEO Dr. John Raymond presented the commendation in recognition of the Governor’s leadership, which has helped expand mental health services, strengthen healthcare training, and advance research across Wisconsin—making a lasting impact on communities statewide.

Thank you, Governor Evers, for your partnership and commitment to health.

Stephan Noonen is a first-year pharmacy student and a new father. At MCW, he found a supportive community of students and faculty that helps him balance both roles. "Everyone is willing to help each other in whatever way we can," he says.

In addition, Noonen continues to work part-time as a pharmacy technician and volunteer in the Milwaukee community. Learn more:

On May 28, researchers and clinicians from MCW joined community members from the Milwaukee area for the Genomics Data Sandbox event.

The event was designed to foster open dialogue, build relationships and create a shared understanding of genetics, precision medicine and the future of healthcare. It also provided an important opportunity for community members and researchers to learn from one another.

Last week, MCW’s Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences hosted their annual Wisconsin Ophthalmology Research Day (WORD)! The event was hosted alongside the University of Wisconsin's Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences.

The event showcased the innovative being done across both institutions through 16 podium presentations and 59 poster presentations.

Please join us in congratulating the following MCW trainees who won awards at the event:

Emma Kerschner - Best Medical Student Poster Presentation

Justin Freestone - Best Postdoctoral or Graduate Student Poster Presentations

Jaime Brown, MD - Best Resident Poster Presentation

It was an honor to host the MACC Fund - Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer, Inc. Board and showcase how Proton Therapy is redefining pediatric cancer care. As the first in Wisconsin to offer this advanced treatment, we are delivering more precise care while reducing long-term risk for young patients.

For nearly 50 years, the MACC Fund has fueled breakthroughs that have helped transform survival rates and outcomes for children.

The partnership between the MACC Fund, MCW and Children’s Wisconsin continues to accelerate research, innovation, and hope.

Thank you for being champions for kids.

Thanks to antiretroviral treatments, individuals with HIV are living just as long as those without HIV. But, older adults with HIV face challenges, including managing comorbid conditions like high cholesterol and dealing with the social isolation common in one’s golden years — which is often exacerbated by HIV-related stigma.

How exactly these challenges shape HIV medication adherence and care engagement is the focus of MCW researcher Jennifer Walsh, PhD. Backed by a new National Institutes of Health grant, Dr. Walsh aims to identify interventions that can help older adults with HIV stay healthy.
