Our adult Level I Trauma Center is a member of regional and state and organizations dedicated to coordinating trauma care and preventing injuries.
Partnership With Wisconsin Air National Guard
In 2007, the Trauma Center at Froedtert Hospital formed a partnership with the Wisconsin Air National Guard to train and prepare members of the 128th Air Refueling Wing. This groundbreaking civilian-military partnership marked just the second of its kind in the United States involving a hospital providing training programs to military troops.
Guardsmen with medical backgrounds have the option of taking part in monthly training at Froedtert Hospital. The training includes scrubbing in for surgeries and being paired with Froedtert & MCW staff to participate in patient care to hone their skills for battlefield medical care. The partnership allowed our nation’s troops to gain more in-depth experience treating traumatic injuries and other battlefield injuries.
