Number of years working in your current industry:
Dr. Patricia Golden has served as a primary care physician in Milwaukee for more than 20 years. She exemplifies what it means to be a compassionate caregiver.
At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Golden took on the role of ambulatory section chief at Ascension Wisconsin’s statewide emergency preparedness incident command structure. She led the development of the COVID-19 drive-through testing sites and respiratory sites across the state.
Under her leadership, Ascension Wisconsin was the first to market a drive-through COVID-19 testing plan – she shared that plan with other health systems and federally qualified health centers so they could implement similar measures in the fight against COVID-19.
