Froedtert & The Medical College will pursue two additional projects: “Reducing barriers to early detection of breast cancer in first-degree relatives of pre-menopausal African-American breast cancer survivors,” and “Reducing clinical breast health screening and treatment timelines for African-American women through central city Milwaukee faith-based congregations.” Both projects are funded by the American Cancer Society.
The Froedtert & The Medical College Breast Cancer Program has a long tradition of high quality care and a strong commitment to improving the health of our community. It is one of 13 disease-specific cancer programs at the Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin Clinical Cancer Center, where patients receive a full range of treatment choices by experienced teams of specialists, advanced options through clinical trials and strong supportive resources — all tailored to individual needs.

Celebrating Heritage & Hope
Heritage & Hope is a celebration of Froedtert Hospital’s 30-year history and its contributions to countless people in our community. This first-time event is planned for Saturday, May 14, 2011, at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee. The celebration features a cocktail reception and dinner, as well as a keynote address by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. NBA Hall of Famer and New York Times best-selling author, Abdul-Jabbar is in a personal battle with leukemia and has become a vocal advocate for life-saving medical research. Event proceeds will benefit clinical research — one of the defining characteristics of Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin, an academic medical center. For sponsorship opportunities, more information or tickets, contact the Froedtert Hospital Foundation at 414-805-2699 or
