About Us
The purposes of the Center are to conduct research on patient care services and related health outcomes, to facilitate a supportive environment for MCW investigators new to this area, to determine the need for and recruit new faculty in targeted methodologic areas, and to sponsor a health services research seminar series as a forum for the exchange of ideas.
Center Leadership
This expanded focus will allow CAPS researchers to partner within and outside the institution to attract more collaborators, and better support MCW's existing Centers in creating tangible change in our communities.
