BALDWIN, WI – Western Wisconsin Health (WWH) hosted their first in-person Open House since 2019 on Wednesday, June 5, 2024. “It was a wonderful day to open our campus to the community and showcase the many providers and specialties WWH offers to help achieve their health and wellness goals,” stated Eilidh Pederson, WWH Chief Executive Officer.
At Healthy Hank’s Celebration, over 700 guests enjoyed a delicious meal provided by the WWH Eatery, featuring pulled chicken sandwiches, coleslaw, and healthy sides. Culver’s of Baldwin delighted guests with their tasty custard. Live music by Dave Snyder Acoustic Sounds added to the festive atmosphere.
Representatives from the Police, Fire Department, and Baldwin Area EMS offered tours of their vehicles. Families took photos with the Queen of Cards and Tea Party Miss from Occasions with Character and the Culver’s mascot, Scoopie and WWH’s mascot, Healthy Hank. Children had fun jumping and sliding in the bounce house, getting tattoos from Baldwin Royalty, and meeting the newly crowned Woodville Syttende Mai Court. Suzanne Wynveen Photography was on hand to capture all the wonderful memories.
Inside the Atrium, numerous displays showcased WWH’s services, providers, and healthcare partners. Guests had the opportunity to meet providers and explore interactive displays. WWH’s partners, including ADORAY Home Health and Hospice, Associated Eye Care, Cancer Center of Western Wisconsin, Family Resource Center, and Farmer Angel Network, highlighted the valuable work they do in the community.
Community members also had the chance to see, and test drive a Da Vinci surgical robot, learning more about this innovative surgical option. Benefits such as shorter surgical times, less invasive procedures, and faster recovery were highlighted.
WWH extends a heartfelt thank you to the community members who joined us in celebrating health and wellness and kicking off Windmill Days.
