This year’s Women of Vision recipients are:

Dr. Zoua Yang is a skilled pharmacist who opened Wausau Family Pharmacy in 2022, creating 12 new jobs for our community and serving over 2200 patients last year.

Dr. Yang led the regional COVID-19 vaccination efforts in Wisconsin and Michigan while working at CVS/Target and now serves as the Covid/Flu Clinic Coordinator for the State of Wisconsin. Her bilingual and bicultural background in English and Hmong have helped remove barriers to accessing care.

Yang received her Doctor of Pharmacy from UW-Madison in 2009 and is currently pursuing her Juris Doctor degree through Purdue University. She has been featured in multiple news articles for her work as a pharmacist.

Sheila Rossmiller is the Northcentral Technical College (NTC) Director of Giving and Scholarships. She is an active volunteer in the community, has made impactful contributions to many organizations including strengthening the impact of the NTC Foundation; helping launch the CoVantage Cares Giving Tuesday campaign; leading a St. Anne Parish choir; helping at Community Partners Campus; and leading the enhancement of Monk Gardens Shade & Hosts Garden with the Master Gardeners.

She is described as a person who “has not just lived in Marathon County since birth, she lives among, around, and with Marathon County and its surrounding communities. She knows the people, places, and things that exist here, and she finds ways to intertwine the best of them.”

Theresa Wetzsteon has served as Marathon County District attorney for 7 years.  She has been instrumental in creating and implementing the Diversion program within the Marathon County District Attorney’s office.

This program has provided a pathway other than prison for youth and low-level offenders. Throughout her career in the DA’s office she has specialized in sensitive crimes prosecution, using experts to educate jurors about important issues.

She has also implemented a juror support program for jurors who hear and decide traumatic cases.  Theresa has increased the number of attorneys in the DA’s office to allow sufficient coverage of cases.
