Education
Given some pre-requisites in the marketplace, i.e., African American and other People of Color have high chronic health concerns; a benchmark and our REAL INCENTIVE, to ensure that All Hands on Deck, WE CAN will be introduced and vigorously pursued to get each person old enough to hear, talk and reason, to help his/her health. That means for the next 3-5 years (during the embryonic stage of Affordable Health Care implementation), individuals are tied to a population score card. The public will be saturated with information on chronic illnesses common to Milwaukee - how they affect quality of life - morbidity and mortality, how they uptick cost, and how best to treat them.

Mary Glass, Chair/CEO, said, "The high value of intervention and prevention should be everybody's goal. It starts with 'in-the-womb' care-giving."
Academic and Practicum Training
Training of Milwaukeeans is the priority for framing a culture that will help garner the unified push for necessary health care of over a half-million people.
We constantly hear about the shortage of individuals, health practitioners, to address the present and growing concerns of professional health care. Glass said, "We see this as a huge opportunity for the recruitment, enrollment, internship, fellowship, scholarship, apprenticeship and Case Learning of the many who are looking for careers, looking to service the population and looking to make the economic landscape more sustainable."
"We seek national and international health providers, pharmaceuticals, health practitioners and insurance carriers to join us in this historic URBAN model".
