CMN Miracle Kid Spotlight
On June 22, 2021, I’Keen was born prematurely and was immediately admitted to the UMC Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Doctors and nurses worked tirelessly to get him the help he needed, and he showed to be a little fighter. Today, although still very little, I’Keen is doing incredible. He has made tremendous strides in his health and progresses more and more with each day that passes. His parents are eternally grateful to the NICU team and look forward to continuing to see baby I’Keen thrive.

UMCP Clinic Spotlight: UMC Family Medicine at Milwaukee
The UMC Family Medicine at Milwaukee clinic has been serving the community since 2015.

The clinic is known for an amazing staff who strives to create a family atmosphere with their patients, and we’d say this proves it shows!
