WELCOME AND THANK YOU
HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCIL
It has been a while since the Health Advisory Council has met. As you recall, we canceled our spring meeting because of the onset of COVID-19 and now we have made the decision to cancel again because of the fall surge. Many of you are on the front-lines and we recognize your need to devote your attention to your patients and your communities. We have enclosed this brief update on UWSP and our new School of Health Sciences and Wellness for your information. When COVID-19 is behind us we will re-establish our regular meeting schedule, resume our discussions and get back to work at strengthening UWSP’s health programs so that we can better serve your organizations, our region and state. Finally, we would like to express gratitude for the long days and endless hours your teams have given during the COVID-19 pandemic. Your collective dedication has kept us well cared for, and we couldn’t be more grateful. The tremendous strain you have been under to prepare, adapt, handle the recent surge and plan for sustainable healthcare delivery exhibits extraordinary resilience. Thank you, especially during this holiday season, for every single minute of time, energy and passion you’ve given in service of patients, community and each other. Who you are and what you do matters a great deal to so many.
