The John H. Renner Wisconsin Idea Award recognizes exceptional commitment to the Wisconsin Idea, a core principle that emphasizes the application of university knowledge and resources to address real-world challenges and improve the lives of people in the state of Wisconsin.

“One of the challenges of the work that we do is that it’s never done, but the possibilities, too, are endless. Together I look forward to building improved models of care, expanding our work in the community, training the healthcare providers of the future, and building a more equitable place to live,” Loving concluded.

Congratulations, Dr. Loving and Access Community Health Centers!
