New North Region Stepping Up to the COVID-19 Challenge
ThedaCare’s COVID Updates to Community Leaders
Message from Dr. Andrabi
Dear Community Leader,

Thank you for joining today’s conversation. Since our call this morning, our state broke another COVID-19 record with a new daily high of 7,497 confirmed cases. The virus claimed 58 more lives and hospitalizations continue to rise with very high coronavirus activity in all of Wisconsin’s 72 counties.

These are not just numbers. They are people: our families, friends, colleagues and neighbors. We must do more to protect the health and wellbeing of our communities.

Below is the link to the Community Leader COVID-19 Brief to help you:

  • Share the latest numbers impacting our region and state
  • Ask that we move forward safely, together
  • Commit to actions you’ll personally take this week to slow the spread
  • Act by taking 15 minutes in your next meeting to put these simple steps into action
Remember you can always visit the newly updated Local Tools section of www.BeSafeWisconsin.org, and download and distribute the tools that your audiences may find helpful.

We all know the ways to be safe: wash hands often, wear masks, and stay 6’ apart. But it’s not the WHAT that’s hard. It’s the DO that’s hard. We CAN do this, to save the lives of our families, friends and neighbors, and move forward safely, together.

With gratitude,
Imran A. Andrabi, MD
President and CEO

New North debuts veterans’ talent initiative

Insight On Business
New North, Inc. is launching a new talent initiative for Northeast Wisconsin centered on military veterans: New North Hires Heroes.

New North has partnered with Mission Wisconsin, an organization dedicated to helping Wisconsin employers connect with transitioning service members, on the program. A supporter of Mission Wisconsin from its start, New North recently signed a contract with the company to focus specifically on military employment connections with businesses in the New North region and to promote living and working in Northeast Wisconsin.

We feel that move should be to Northeast Wisconsin.”

Mission Wisconsin will provide a source of transitioning service member, military spouse and veteran talent to those employers by attending.....

ENR Midwest 2020 Best Projects: Excellence in Safety – Oshkosh Corp. Global Headquarters (Miron Construction + Performa Inc.)

ENR
To safely deliver a new global headquarters for Oshkosh Corp., Miron Construction made it a priority to reduce the use of scaffolding and ladders, opting instead to put its own craftspeople and its subcontractors in aerial lifts. “Just about everything on the exterior except the masonry work was done off lifts,” says Matthew Frey, project manager with Miron Construction.

Although Frey says the use of lifts reduced risks, the team also had to account for added traffic as lifts and other equipment moved around this four-story structure. Paths were created for equipment movement. Perimeters were set up around lifts and taped off to direct movement of....
