About the Event
The EmPOWERED to Serve is a national initiative of the American Heart Association that engages multicultural communities through 4 channels: Faith-Based, Strategic Alliances, Urban Housing and Collegiate to impact health and health outcomes. The EmPOWERED to Serve Initiative is a national effort to work with organizations to impact health and improve health outcomes in multicultural communities that they serve along with advancing AHA’s 2020 Impact Goal.
It is our intention to support and develop the capacity for faith communities to effectively address the horrendous health disparities within multicultural communities in Southeastern Wisconsin.
Venue Location
The EmPOWERED To Serve Symposium is sponsored in part by Froedtert Hospital & Medical College of Wisconsin. As such, the event will be hosted in the new Center for Advanced Care facility. This innovative center houses three important patient care areas - The Heart and Vascular Center, The Transplant Center and Preoperative Outpatient Management.
The Heart and Vascular Center offers a complete range of heart and vascular services, provided by one of the best teams in Wisconsin. Cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, interventional cardiologists, and many more offer patients the most advanced surgical and non-surgical treatments available in the region in the area’s only academic-based Heart and Vascular Center.
The new Transplant Center offers highly experienced transplant program which is one of the most comprehensive transplant programs in the region. Nationally recognized for excellence in transplant care, Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin promotes a multidisciplinary approach to the continual improvement of the clinical, scientific, and educational aspects of transplantation, thereby improving the lives of patients with organ failure.
The Preoperative Outpatient Management program is the first stop for all patients arriving for surgery at Froedtert Hospital. Here, patients are admitted and receive all of their pre-op services, just one floor from the location of their actual surgery.
