Milwaukee Athletics Extends Partnership with Orthopaedic Hospital of Wisconsin

OHOW to continue as Official Healthcare Provider of the Panthers

MILWAUKEE – Milwaukee Athletics and Orthopaedic Hospital of Wisconsin (OHOW) have agreed to a 3-year extension of their longstanding partnership through Milwaukee Panther Sports Properties, the locally-based team of Learfield – the media and technology company powering college athletics.

OHOW has been a dedicated partner of the Panthers since 2011 and will continue as their Official Healthcare Provider, staffing team doctors at Milwaukee’s home sporting events and offering orthopedic care for Panther student-athletes through the 2027-28 athletics season.

“For well over a decade, Orthopaedic Hospital of Wisconsin has stood by our side, championing our athletes and our mission,” said Amanda Braun, Milwaukee Director of Athletics. “We are very thankful to continue this amazing partnership with OHOW and we are grateful for physicians Dr. Don Middleton, Dr. Patrick Jost, Dr. Jake Bauwens, and Dr. John Wu who work hand-in-hand with our student-athletes. A renewed commitment from such a long-time partner speaks volumes, and we’re honored to keep moving forward together.”

In addition to category exclusivity, OHOW also receives assets including courtside signage at Panther Men’s Basketball, Women’s Basketball and Volleyball contests, logo placement on Milwaukee’s media backdrop, signage at the Panthers’ athletic training facility, and in-state use of all official Milwaukee Athletics logos and marks.

“OHOW’s partnership with UWM is a critical piece of our community involvement,” said Brandon G. Goldbeck, OHOW Chief Executive Officer. “The relationship is easy when UWM and OHOW align with all targets of excellence. This has been a wonderful benefit for the hospital as well as the UWM student athletes. The credit for service must include the OHOW team physicians. The efforts of Dr. Patrick Jost, Dr. Don Middleton, Dr. Jake Bauwens, and Dr. John Wu cannot be underscored. They dedicate hundreds of hours to serving the injured athletes. With their dedicated commitment, both sides are stronger.”

“We’re thrilled to continue our longstanding relationship with OHOW as the Official Healthcare Provider of Milwaukee Athletics,” added Kristina Filipovic, General Manager of Milwaukee Panther Sports Properties. “Their support of Milwaukee Athletics and Panther student-athletes as well as the care they provide to Milwaukee and surrounding communities makes them an invaluable partner for the success of our athletics programs.”

Milwaukee Panther Sports Properties is the exclusive multimedia rights holder for Milwaukee Athletics and oversees all sponsorship agreements on behalf of the Panthers.

Holiday spending climbs

Shoppers in downtown Milwaukee are feeling the squeeze — and still opening their wallets — as experts say this holiday season is shaping up to be one of the most expensive on record.

MILWAUKEE – Shoppers in downtown Milwaukee are feeling the squeeze — and still opening their wallets — as experts say this holiday season is shaping up to be one of the most expensive on record.

Local perspective:

“I started about three weeks ago. I would say it’s been on the more expensive side, especially when you have to grab gifts for more and more people every year,” said Andie, a Milwaukee shopper.

“I finished up my Christmas shopping today,” said Zack, another shopper.

Both said they’ve become more strategic with how — and where — they spend, balancing convenience with a push to support local businesses.

“I definitely wanna support the local businesses around here so a healthy mix of online when it’s a little more convenient and local,” said Andie.

A report from Mastercard shows consumer spending rose 3.9% from Nov. 1 through Dec. 21 compared with the same period last year, reflecting stronger demand even as prices remain elevated.

“Yeah, I would say about $100 more, maybe $200,” said Zack.

What we know:

That uptick is being felt on the ground. Kerry Schannon said his downtown Milwaukee business has seen a steady flow of customers throughout the season.

“We had a very, very brisk business up until the unexpected cold blast in December, but otherwise it’ll be very good,” said Schannon, a downtown Milwaukee business owner.

Schannon said repeat customers helped anchor sales, while creative window displays and promotions brought in new shoppers despite broader economic uncertainty.

“People are not horribly happy about tariffs, but they are still coming. They’re still supporting local business and we are specifically here because we want to mark ourselves to an urban demographic, and they’re there, they’re coming in,” said Schannon.

What they’re saying:

For shoppers, many say cost isn’t the only consideration.

“You have to your loved ones are still important no matter the price,” said Zack.

Andie said she’s found ways to manage expenses while still keeping traditions alive.

“I do you like a secret Santa situation, so we don’t end up buying another 10–15 gifts on top of that, so trying to keep costs reasonable,” said Andie.

Looking ahead, the National Retail Federation projects holiday spending will top $1 trillion for the first time, underscoring how consumers continue to spend even as budgets are stretched.
