The Center for the Advancement of Underserved Children (formerly Center for Advancement of Urban Children) is a cooperative endeavor between Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin (CHW) and the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW).
Center faculty and staff conducts community-oriented research and develops culturally-tailored initiatives to understand the current status of children’s health locally, Statewide, regionally and nationally.
