The Advisory Boards of the Medical College of Wisconsin play a critical role in increasing community awareness of the College’s major programs and raising private funds. The Advisory Boards include Wisconsin’s top business, professional and civic leaders who are committed to advancing medical research at the College.
Medical research is the necessary step to discovering improved methods to diagnose, treat and ultimately cure and prevent diseases. Private support is more important than ever as competition increases for federal grant support.
The fundraising efforts of Advisory Board members have supported:
