BECAUSE OF YOU . . .
Clients celebrate the
next chapter of their lives!
Lukas became part of the Milwaukee Center for Independence family when he was about a year old after spending all his young life in a hospital connected to life-saving equipment. More than 1,500 days later, Lukas, pictured above, graduated from our medical day care program, ready to take on the next chapter in his life’s journey, healthy and happy!
Cindy, pictured below with her therapist, battled depression and a lack of self-confidence since she was a teen-ager, but always had a dream to be a special education teacher. She just needed help to take that big step toward her goal. Working with her psychotherapist from MCFI’s Behavioral Health Services program, Cindy received the confidence and support she needed to finish her associate degree and is now enrolled in college this semester to work toward completing the next chapter of her journey and become a teacher!
Please watch this video to see how Lukas and Cindy have been helped through MCFI!
Exceptional Support
MCFI’s medical day care program is Wisconsin’s only Medicaid certified medical day care for children, newborn to age 21, with complex and fragile medical conditions or developmental disabilities often due to prematurity, traumatic brain injury, and other circumstances. A team of nurses, teachers and therapists support the children to improve medical conditions, cognitive functioning, and communication.
Our Behavioral Health Services is one of the largest providers of mental health and substance use disorders treatment in Milwaukee County and continues to expand services which positively impact the community.
MCFI continues to drive the delivery of quality throughout all our broad spectrum of services around trauma informed practices and the implementation of the Science of Hope, supporting children and adults to gain more independence and overall quality of life.
