The new Bucks’ Health Clinic, set to opening Milwaukee today, is Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin’s first in the city's downtown, according to an article on the Urban Milwaukee website.
The McKinley Health Center was born out of a meeting two years ago between the Milwaukee Bucks organization and the health system.
The Bucks will own the new building and Froedtert & MCW will lease. John Balzer, vice president of facility planning and development, says the Bucks constructed the building shell and gave Froedtert & MCW an allowance, which Froedtert supplemented, to fill out the space according to their requirements.
The facility is the official sports medicine and orthopedics facility of the Milwaukee Bucks and has a specialty program aligned with the needs of the sports organization.
