Your selection will impact the health and well-being of you and your family. In southeastern Wisconsin, most physicians are affiliated with one of the region’s five integrated health systems, so when you select a physician you are selecting a health system as well. Health systems have web-based tools (including videos) that can help you find and evaluate physicians (please see health system listings for telephone numbers and websites). The Wisconsin Collaborative on Healthcare Quality ( wchq.org ) provides quality measurements on clinics, physician groups and health systems. @discoverMKE.com / discovermilwaukee.com 91
