The Center for Patient Partnerships trains graduate and professional students in patient advocacy. These students work with people facing serious chronic or life-threatening conditions.

Clients receive advocacy services to:

Make more informed medical decisions
Access and pay for health care
Navigate employment issues
Find and build support
Build their own capacity to advocate for quality health care

The Center does not accept donations from organizations that profit from health care. 80% of funding comes from individual or private donors. Services are provided at no cost.

The Center is affiliated with the University of Wisconsin Schools of Law, Medicine & Public Health, Nursing, and Pharmacy.
