UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-GREEN BAY
GREEN BAY— Aurora BayCare Medical Center is deepening its investment to address a dire nursing shortage in Northeast Wisconsin by providing support to prospective and current nursing students at UW-Green Bay.

Oshkosh council to give $1.6 million in federal money for Boys & Girls Club expansion campaign
OSHKOSH NORTHWESTERN
OSHKOSH – The city council awarded just over $2 million in federal money to local nonprofits affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and most of the money went to the Boys & Girls Club to help with its expansion.
The Oshkosh council last week doled out grants of $350,000 to the Christine Ann Domestic Abuse Center and $130,480 to ADVOCAP's eviction prevention/rental assistance program. But the city is giving $1.6 million from this round of grant funding from the American Rescue Plan Act to cover 10% of the Boys & Girls Club planned $16 million expansion.
Tracy Odgen, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh, said the organization has seen the need for services grow to the point last summer that it had to "turn kids away" simply because the club didn't have enough space...
