HealthCare Heroes

We salute our Health Care Heroes!

BizTimes Media LLC presents a series of impactful public events throughout the year, and our calendar always wraps up with the Health Care Heroes Awards Breakfast.

It’s a perfect bow to wrap around our year and a gift-wrapped way to get into the holiday spirit.

Every year, we are amazed by the contributions of our Heroes to the quality of life in our community.

This year, we are saluting Heroes who are making a difference in so many ways, from tending to the homeless and people with mental health issues, to improving the chances of survival for premature babies and providing hospice care.

This year’s Grand Achievement Award goes to Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital. The new hospital on Milwaukee’s east side culminates years of planning and construction. This breathtaking structure will improve the quality of care in the city for generations to come.

Once again, BizTimes is blessed to have a fantastic panel of judges for our Health Care Heroes Awards program. These judges, who are so generous with their time and their commitment to this program, include: Phyllis King, Ph.D., associate dean, professor and associate director of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Center for Ergonomics; Heidi Mayer, executive director of the Lutheran Home Foundation; Karen Ordinans, executive director of the Children’s Health Alliance of Wisconsin; Dr. Sarah Pratt, a pediatrician who is the past president of the Medical Society of Milwaukee County and a past member of the Wisconsin Medical Society Board of Directors; and Connie Roethel, R.N., wellness expert and president of Core Health Group in Mequon;

Kudos also go out to Julie Sneider, an independent journalist who compiled the profiles of the Heroes in this special section.

I want to thank our sponsor, Humana, for once again recognizing the value of this program and the inspiration these Heroes provide for the community.
