URBAN HEALTH CARE IN MILWAUKEE – ALL HANDS on DECK

There is a “health crisis” in urban Milwaukee that has “health-wellness” on its ear.

Twenty-first century “In-the-neighborhood access” to primary and specialty care for Milwaukeeans is equal to a third world country.

We have the people-land-funds. 
We have people in need of employment that can be trained and are trained.
We have real estate available for use.
We have public policies in place for use.
We have government funding for the population that is geared elsewhere.

We have the educational sites that with the right emphasis, can have a growing medical talent pool.

Here is where we start.
The neighborhood level planners, entrepreneurs, MKE Commerce Council and other public square thinkers
will work over the next six (6) months to put in place a NEW Urban Health idea by and for the People of Milwaukee - within traveling distance and using public transportation.

We will work with like-minds, experts in the field, government representatives and models to present an attractive and useable care-giver model for Urban Milwaukee that addresses today's needs.

ALL HANDS on Deck, WE, Not Me Initiative-Plan-Project addresses HEALTH CARE as a primary focus of change for its BOTTOM-up Recovery - economic affluence and BETTER-BEST sustainability at the neighborhood-level.

Our densely populated neighborhoods on the north  and south side have chronic health challenges that can be properly managed and overcome with proper due diligence (education-communication-access-connectivity-solidarity in message-strategic planning and buy-in from the Get-go, creating networks for tracking records, access to “trained” and “sensitive” health care providers) and maximizing our resources.
