The first session will be in Milwaukee and will focus on improving access to health care services as well as on implementing more effective approaches for managing chronic disease.
 
The session's content expert is Joy Tapper, MPA, Executive Director of the Milwaukee Health Care Partnership and Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) Consortium on Public and Community Health member.
