Big news for Heroes for Healthcare & Brown County, WI!

Gov. Evers WEDC announcement --> https://wedc.org/talent-recruitment-grant-awardees/
This investment will allow us to launch a targeted, data-driven initiative to recruit 10 medically trained veterans (medics, corpsmen, and medical technicians) and 10 veteran Registered Nurses from across the country to Brown County, Wisconsin, helping strengthen our healthcare workforce while creating meaningful career pathways for those who served.
With an estimated $1.67M annual economic impact, this initiative supports both veteran families and the growing healthcare needs of our communities. Through this grant, eligible veteran households may receive customized relocation assistance of up to $7,500 to help make Wisconsin home.
This work would not be possible without incredible partners and supporters.
Special thanks to our healthcare partners, Emplify Health and Aurora Health Care, for their commitment to hiring and supporting medically trained veterans.
