CBS 58 GREEN BAY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- The Green Bay Packers announced a multi-year partnership with UW Health on Thursday, April 16, naming the Madison-based system as the team's official health care partner.
As part of the deal, a new UW Health Gate will be unveiled on the north side of Lambeau Field in May and the UW Health logo will appear on the Packers' practice jerseys.
The health system will also serve as presenting sponsor of Packers Training Camp and Packers Family Night.
Ed Policy, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Packers said the team is proud to partner with UW Health, adding:
"The Packers, much like UW Health, have a story that starts over a century ago. These two pillars of Wisconsin industry coming together to broaden the reach of health and wellness to football fans around the globe is a fitting partnership."
The announcement was made at American Family Children's Hospital in Madison, with Packers players Lukas Van Ness and Luke Musgrave on hand to visit patients.
The two organizations will collaborate on the Packers vs. Cancer program, which raises awareness and funds for cancer research, including work at the UW Health Carbone Cancer Center.
