A letter from Froedtert Health CEO Bill Petasnick and Medical College of Wisconsin President John Raymond
When you seek a trusted partner for your health care, choose Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin. We are an academic medical center, a partnership that brings care delivery, scientific research and education together in a unique environment that attracts the finest minds in medicine.
Our expert physicians and exceptional staff embody our commitment to advancing the health of our community by striving to excel at each aspect of our mission. Here, excellence in patient care, research and education come together to create an atmosphere of continuous learning and improvement.
We take on the toughest medical challenges with a coordinated approach that always places the patient at the center. Care is coordinated and managed by expert teams led by highly trained physician specialists. For example, when the diagnosis is cancer, physicians specializing in different aspects of cancer care meet with a single goal: to create an optimal treatment plan for each individual patient by harnessing their collective expertise. Or, if the unthinkable happens and seconds count, a highly trained trauma team including experts in emergency medicine, trauma, neurosurgery, cardiovascular medicine and orthopedics stands ready every minute of every day. Or, for individuals facing Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders, special coordinators work with patients and their families to navigate care options including specific exercise programs, occupational therapy and deep brain stimulation. These are just a few examples of the many programs that fulfill our commitment to deliver the best possible care tailored to your individual needs.
Each year, the Best Doctors in America database asks physicians to nominate the best of their peers and recognizes just 5 percent of the nation’s practicing, board-certified physicians. In 2009-2010, more than 300 Medical College of Wisconsin physicians practicing at Froedtert in 40 specialties received this honor. More physicians from the Medical College were recognized among the best than any other group practice or institution in Wisconsin. Our physicians offer unparalleled experience, knowledge and innovation and are supported by the resources of distinguished, interdisciplinary programs.
We continue to bring more of the finest minds in medicine to you, recruiting top specialists from around the nation. For example, last year, Dr. Douglas Evans became Chairman of Surgery. He previously practiced at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and is regarded as one of the nation’s top surgeons in pancreatic and endocrine system cancers. And Dr. Janet Rader recently became Chairman of Obstetrics and Gynecology, joining us from Washington University School of Medicine. Dr. Rader is one of the country’s leading researchers into the genetic basis for gynecologic cancer. Dr. Evans and Dr. Radar share our commitment to advancing medicine through clinical trials and translational research that brings advancements from the research bench to the bedside.
When you choose Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin for primary care, a second opinion or a trusted team to help you rise to the toughest medical challenge, the finest minds in medicine will have their minds on you.
