Medical College of Wisconsin Office of Government Relations
Welcome
The Office of Government Relations serves the Medical College of Wisconsin by administering, enhancing, and building MCW’s relationships with federal, state and local elected officials and government agencies, as well as with civic leaders and representatives from community-based organizations to encourage investment in and support for MCW. The Office executes MCW’s response to a wide range of public policy issues, and advises MCW's President & CEO, Executive leadership, faculty, staff and students on strategies to facilitate constructive dialogue with government and community leaders.
Key Functions
The Office of Government Relations is charged by the President and Board of Trustees to advance the interests of the Medical College of Wisconsin in a non-partisan, transparent and executive manner. The Office serves in an advisory capacity to MCW's President and CEO and Executive leadership, making recommendations on potential public policy positions for the institution. Its operations are strategically designed to create an ethical environment within MCW and among its external constituencies to promote its four missions. The Office conducts itself as an ambassador of MCW without regard to one particular area of research or discipline.
Our Mission
The Office of Government Relations is dedicated to advancing the Medical College of Wisconsin’s (MCW) mission to be a national leader in the education and development of the next generation of physicians and scientists; to discover and translate new knowledge in the biomedical sciences; to provide cutting-edge, interdisciplinary and compassionate clinical care of the highest quality; and to improve the health of the communities we serve.
To that end, the mission of GCR is to serve as the link and voice among MCW, policymakers at the federal, state and local levels, and neighbors, civic organizations and businesses. The Office acts as the primary liaison and advocate to these stakeholders on behalf of MCW by fostering open communication, understanding and collaboration to establish and maintain mutually beneficial relationships.

The Office of Government Relations works in close collaboration with Van Scoyoc Associates in Washington D.C., Paragon Government Relations in Washington D.C., and Hoven Consulting in Madison, Wisconsin.
