About healthcare in Milwaukee, WI
Milwaukee's healthcare is anchored by two systems serving different populations. Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin handle academic and trauma care from their Wauwatosa campus, while Advocate Aurora runs the largest community hospital and clinic network across the metro. Children's Wisconsin is one of the top pediatric hospitals in the Midwest, and the city's significant health disparities between neighborhoods mean where you live is a real factor in what care looks like.
