PATCH Milwaukee
Serving all southeastern Wisconsin communities
About PATCH Milwaukee
PATCH is BACK in Milwaukee and relaunching a site in 2021 after a successful pilot from 2016-2018. We are eager to continue our work to improve adolescent health and health care experiences!
Milwaukee, Wisconsin is our home base, but we are proud to hire a diverse team of Teen Educators each year from Milwaukee County!
We are working hard to reach as many providers and teens as possible in southeastern Wisconsin and look forward to working with you!
Meet the 2021-2022 Teen Educator Team!
