WHY MILWAUKEE
​​
According to the Milwaukee Magazine, missionaries, mapmakers, newspaper printers, and many other townspeople attempted to write down the name of the city based on native tribe dialects. Steeped in mystery and debate, the current spelling has prevailed, and appears to mean “good land”, “rich and beautiful land”, or “gather place by the waters”. We are personal fans of all of these options.
​​
From the way we see it, Dr. Brown joined an esteemed practice in patient care, research, education, and community engagement in a good, rich, and beautiful land of Milwaukee residents; where folks from all around the city, state, nation, and world would gather by Lake Michigan; together blazing trails forward into the future frontiers of Prevention, Precision, Digital Health, and Innovation in Cardio-Oncology. No stone would be left unturned while tilling the soil that would bear fruit for decades and even centuries to come.
​​
According to Wikipedia, Milwaukee is the birthplace or hometown of a myriad of nationally and internationally renowned actors, filmmakers, producers, singers, musicians, writers, poets, artists, fashion designers, athletes, olympians, lawyers, judges, legislators, diplomats, doctors, innovators, race car drivers, astronauts, architects, ministers, and other people of honor and valor. Milwaukee was also home to Oprah Winfrey.
​​
Milwaukee is the biggest city in Wisconsin and the 5th biggest city in the Midwest USA. The city sits on the shore of Lake Michigan, and lends itself to sailing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing. The city is known for museums, art, music, and cultural festivals and dining, and was voted by Vogue as “The Coolest City in the Midwest” in 2018.
​​
ONGOING NATIONAL & GLOBAL COLLABORATIONS
​​
Milwaukee is very close to the up-and-coming innovation city of Chicago, about an hour and a half by car. In addition to close collaborations in Chicago, nationwide and worldwide collaborations will continue to be nurtured, as so much more can be done linked arm-in-arm.
