Marshfield Medical Center-Ladysmith launched a Community Health Funding Program. Funding provides support to local community-based organizations to enhance or implement programs or services that will improve the overall health and well-being of communities served by Marshfield Medical Center-Ladysmith. 
 
This was the first time this Community Health Funding Program was offered, and organizations across Chippewa, Rusk, Sawyer and Taylor counties were eligible to apply. Initiatives received funds to increase local services for multiple youth programs, enhance ongoing local community and school-based projects, support new or existing projects, and aim to improve the availability of programs, activities and services to community members.
 
Putting resources into community programming that helps people make good decisions, enables positive choices and supporting connections that empower healthy behaviors is a key goal of this funding. Within our mission, vision and values we support our communities and our residents in many ways so they can participate in and improve their lives the best they can.
