MCW Consortium on Public and Community Health

As directed by the Wisconsin Insurance Commissioner's Order, a nine-member oversight committee was formed at the Medical College of Wisconsin to oversee the Healthier Wisconsin Partnership Program. The committee, known as the MCW Consortium on Public and Community Health (MCW Consortium), serves as the board of directors for the Healthier Wisconsin Partnership Program. In addition to oversight responsibility for the Healthier Wisconsin Partnership Program, the Consortium board also serves in an advisory capacity for conversion funds allocated to research and education at the Medical College of Wisconsin.

The MCW Consortium is composed of four members selected from nominees by statewide and community health care advocacy organizations, four members who represent the medical school, and a final member selected by the Insurance Commissioner.
