As director of community outreach and engagement at Glendale-based Ascension Wisconsin, Nichole Gladney looks for ways to build relationships with community members and leaders as well as strengthen strategic planning and community outreach programs.
“She lives Ascension’s mission of serving all people, with special attention to those who may be struggling,” said Reggie Newson, chief community impact and advocacy officer at Ascension Wisconsin. “To help reduce barriers to care, Nichole goes where the need is greatest. Whether it’s through the Mobile Mammography Coach, the Ascension Ebenezer Health Resource Center and Food Pantry, Ascension St. Ben’s Clinic, the Ascension Angel of Hope Clinic or Ascension Wisconsin Blanket of Love Sanctuaries, she and her team meet people where they are in our community.”
In addition, Gladney oversees Ascension Wisconsin’s Urban Church Wellness program, which aims to guide and support faith leaders from 36 churches to improve the lives of their congregations through health screenings and education.
