MILWAUKEE (10/25/12) – Tricia Geraghty has been named as the first corporate vice president for Marketing and Public Relations at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, effective Tuesday, Nov. 27.
Geraghty currently is the vice president of Marketing and Communication at Marquette University.

“Tricia will be responsible for the comprehensive marketing strategy for Children’s Hospital in alignment with our strategic plan. She will help us further define and implement a marketing plan that strengthens our market position locally, regionally and nationally, and that inspires support for Children’s Hospital as one of our community’s greatest assets,” said Peggy Troy, MSN, RN, president and CEO of Children’s Hospital and Health System. “I am delighted to have Tricia on board to help us deliver our mission of caring for children.”
