Bard College is a four-year residential college of the liberal arts and sciences with a 150-year history of academic excellence. From a 540-acre parklike campus in the Hudson River Valley, the College offers the bachelor of arts degree with concentrations in nearly 50 academic programs in four divisions: Arts; Languages and Literature; Science, Mathematics, and Computing; and Social Studies. Bard also offers dual-degree options, including a five-year B.A./B.S. degree in economics and finance and the undergraduate program at the Bard College Conservatory of Music, in which students earn both a bachelor’s degree in music and a B.A. in another field in the liberal arts or sciences. Over the past 30 years, Bard has broadened its scope beyond undergraduate academics. The College now operates high school programs and graduate programs, and has expanded to encompass a network of regional, national, and global satellites. Bard has built such programs as the Bard Prison Initiative, which grants college degrees to New York State inmates, and the Bard High School Early Colleges, where students earn a high school diploma and an A.A. in four years. Bard’s philosophy sets a standard for both scholarly achievement and engagement in civic and global affairs on campus, while also taking the College's mission to the wider world.

In 1988, the ICDP North Side Center applied for a Community Health Center 330 Federal Grant. This allowed only the Isaac Coggs Health Connection center to evolve into a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). In 2006, Dr. Tito Izard was hired as Chief Medical Officer to help relocate the Isaac Coggs Health Connection to 8200 W. Silver Spring Dr. and expand the clinical programs. The center’s name was changed to Isaac Coggs Heritage Health Center. Over the next few years, Milwaukee Health Services, Inc. recruited and employed more African American and minority providers than any other healthcare practice in the state of Wisconsin, an accomplishment that remains today. In 2009 the MHS Convenient Care Clinic was opened as the first FQHC immediate care clinic in a grocery store in the United States. In 2010 MHSI recorded its one-millionth medical appointment. On Friday, August 27, 2010, Cicero Caesar Henderson passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. Although the community mourned the loss of its adopted son, CC Henderson, it embraced the Board of Directors’ passing of the legacy to Milwaukee’s native son, Dr. Tito Izard, as the new President & CEO for the organization. With a vision shared, a staff committed and a community supporting, MHSI, celebrates “Harambee- pulling together” with over 30 years of service.
