The Milwaukee Health Care Partnership operates under a board of directors comprised of the CEOs of the private members and top health leaders of the government entities. The organization operates as a managed consortium and although all of its members are not-for-profit, the Partnership is not currently incorporated as a 501(c)3.
Joy R. Tapper serves as the Partnership’s executive director. As the only full-time dedicated staff, Ms. Tapper manages the consortium’s initiatives, which include significant contributions of in-kind services and expertise from its members. Currently, almost 100 health care leaders and providers participate in more than a dozen committees and workgroups.
Partnership operations are funded through member contributions, each assessed relative to their size. Program and project activities are funded through a blend of member support and philanthropy. This year’s priorities outline the sponsored and supported activities that will continue to drive a community wide plan for health improvement.
