A patient recently recognized six Marshfield Medical Center-Neillsville staff members by donating through the Shining Star program in their names.

Their outstanding care in the Infusion and Outpatient Center and in the Respiratory Therapy department at MMC-Neillsville was instrumental in the patient's health journey:

"The chronic disease I have elicits damage to my lungs requiring regular lab monitoring, monthly infusions, bi-weekly pulmonary rehab visits and regular pulmonary testing. With the frequency of these visits and proximity to my home, I chose Marshfield Clinic-Neillsville."

"While working with an outside provider creates different challenges; Rachel, Nicole, Ally, Katie, Michelle and Nina do not miss a beat. I am beyond grateful to MMC-Neillsville respiratory therapists and infusion center staff for the professionalism they demonstrate communicating and working as a team with my provider to ensure my disease is being managed."

"Recent tests and oxygen requirements confirming strides of improvement! Equally important is their knowledge and understanding of my disease while, at the same time displaying compassion. These skilled women "own" their job and take it to the next level, addressing disease particulars and concerns."

They have positively intervened when observing changes in my levels. An illustration of this occurred when the RT's noticed, in rehab, my oxygen levels plummeted. They reached out to my provider. Tests were ordered and medication adjusted. Their prompt reaction resulted in less progression."

"They are educators, instructing breathing methods, researching and recommending devices to aid in symptoms. Their calm and happy demeanor is contagious and renders positive results under stressful test procedures."

"I have so much respect and admiration for these women who I am proud to call my "squad." They have impacted my health in the best possible way, without a doubt adding more time to my "life story." They are all light bringers who each deserve the title "shining star."
