Just a few months ago, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that MilwaukeeCares had enrolled three patients. However, on April 24th we enrolled our 100th patient. To date, 137 patients have been enrolled into the program. " This is great news for MilwaukeeCares" reports Dr. Dave Olson, MilwaukeeCares Board President. " Our staff has worked hard in enrolling patients and getting those patients scheduled for visits", says Olson. Patients are reporting great satisfaction with their volunteer physicians.
