Tuesday, December 4th, 2018 -- 8:05 AM
-The Wisconsin Department of Health Services announced the recipients of new grants totaling close to $300,000 over two years to assist rural hospitals in filling “high need, high demand” positions, those where the demand for specific professionals exceeds the supply of available workers.The grants support education and training for an array of allied health professionals, including surgical technologists, substance abuse counselors-in-training, central service technicians, sonographers, and phlebotomists. Hospitals were required to form partnerships with educational organizations and health systems. One local partnership receiving this grant is the Marshfield Medical Center and Hospital in Marshfield and Mid-State Technical College. They’ll receive $88,218.
DHS continues to work with the Wisconsin Hospital Association and the Rural Wisconsin Health Cooperative to provide technical assistance to interested organizations prior to a second request for applications, tentatively scheduled to be issued in the spring of 2019.
