If the need arises for more advanced services, care can be seamlessly transitioned to our academic medical center in Wauwatosa,” said Mark Lodes, MD, president of Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin Community Physicians. “Moorland Reserve’s primary care physicians practice the ‘medical home’ model, a team approach to care coordination, disease prevention and early detection. Medical homes are proving their success at many of our clinics. Research shows that this model helps improve outcomes and decrease health costs.”
Froedtert & The Medical College hospitals and clinics form an integrated network connected to a shared electronic medical record system. If a Moorland Reserve patient was previously seen at another Froedtert network location, his or her health records will be available to physicians at Moorland Reserve.
