Several health care leaders around the state have launched personal campaigns to help the annual effort of fundraising and recruiting new individuals to participate. To date, with the help of the leaders' personal campaigns, there are 51 new contributors for 2021.
"This is a goal that is attainable, but we need everyone to participate," said WHA Advocacy Committee Chair Mike Wallace, CEO of Fort Healthcare. "If you gave last year, a few years ago, or never before, now is not the time to shy away from politics. In fact, it's the opposite. Now, more than ever, we need to show our collective support for those candidates who value hospitals in Wisconsin."
The Wisconsin Hospitals State PAC & Conduit annual campaign runs through Dec. 31, 2021. Individuals can make a one-time contribution or set up a recurring contribution to spread out their commitment through the year.
