Did you know The Richland Hospital and Clinics is home to Wisconsin’s only hospital-based Youth Apprenticeship Program? Nearly 40 students from Highland, Kickapoo, Richland Center, and River Valley High Schools learned all about it from Tom Martin of CESA 3 at our annual Career Day. They also explored a wide range of health care careers, gained hands-on experience, learned about mentorship and how youth apprenticeship is a pathway into the workforce.Students had the chance to work with a variety of areas, including a creative look into the birth center. If you have a chance, ask a student who attended about it!A special thank you to our presenters, Richland County EMS, CESA 3, participating school districts, and community partners for helping inspire the next generation of health care professionals. ...

At TRHC, we’re proud to care for our community both inside and outside our walls. On the fourth Friday of each month, staff can donate, receive a sticker, and wear jeans for the day. In October, proceeds benefit United Givers of Richland County! So, if you see staff in jeans and wearing a sticker, you’ll know they’re supporting a great cause while enjoying a casual day! It’s a small gesture with a big impact, and a wonderful way for our hospital family to show we care.Thank you to our amazing team for making a difference! ... See MoreSee Less
The compassion and dedication of our nursing team were on full display as we celebrated another DAISY Award presentation.Ken Nelson, VP and Chief Nursing Officer, noted the outstanding number of nominations received this year, saying, “It’s so great our nurses are getting so many nominations. It’s impossible to award this just once a year.”This year’s nominees included Skyla Wanless, Kaylyn Hellebrand, Darrin Buchholtz, Mary Jo Kussmaul, Amanda Williamson, Dana Falk, Paul Thao, Charlene Shaw, and Laurie Krajco. We will be spotlighting each of their accomplishments over the next few weeks - stay tuned! Our newest DAISY Award recipient, Heather Thome, was nominated by hospice nurse Kari Long, who shared how Heather’s care went far beyond meeting her patient’s medical needs. During a difficult and emotionally complex situation, Heather made sure both her patient and their family felt supported, heard, and cared for every step of the journey.As Kari wrote in her nomination, “Some moments in health care remind us why nursing is more than a profession; it’s a calling.” She concluded by saying that Heather “truly embodies the heart of nursing and is profoundly deserving of the DAISY Award.”Heather's immediate family joined her during the presentation. Her children even wrote words of encouragement on the board while they waited for Mom's big moment! Please join us in congratulating Heather on this well-deserved honor and in celebrating all of our nominees for the extraordinary difference they make every day.#DAISYAward #RuralHealthCare #CommunityMatters ...
