Christine Holmes Appointed to Oversight and Advisory Committee

The Wisconsin Partnership Program is pleased to announce that the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents recently appointed Christine Holmes, President and CEO of the Penfield Children's Center in Milwaukee, to the UW School of Medicine and Public Health Oversight and Advisory Committee (OAC).

The Penfield Children's Center is a nonprofit organization aimed at helping infants and young children with and without disabilities reach their full potential.

Holmes is an advocate for child health and well-being with nearly three decades of national leadership and advocacy experience in health and human services. Before assuming her leadership position at Penfield Children's Center, she was employed by Children's Hospital and Health System as a director in Child Abuse Prevention, Government Relations and Community Programs.

Holmes' perspective as a children's health advocate will be especially valuable as the Oversight and Advisory Committee launches a long-term funding initiative to reduce health disparities in birth outcomes.
