Her nomination particularly cited diligence in assuring a smooth vaccine move with our relocation, maintaining our vaccine inventory in an effective manner, handling the pertussis outbreak with a smile, being very flexible with clinic coverage, and always being helpful with questions, phone calls, and unexpected visitors. We also appreciate the time and effort she invests in assuring our students have a positive and worthwhile experience while here.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin’s Population Health Institute have unveiled the second annual County Health Rankings. Nearly every county in the country is ranked on health outcomes (how healthy we are) and on health factors (how healthy we can be). This information helps counties see where they are doing well and where they are not, so they can make changes to improve health. Visit the link below for more information.
