We have seen the signs: "Heroes Work Here" in front of many businesses. This article is about the people at one of Michael Best's clients, Aspirus in Wausau, Wisconsin. Aspirus' staff are front line workers challenged to save the lives of patients of all ages battling COVID-19. Much has been written about the shortage of hospital beds and intensive care resources, but the most valuable resource needed to care for sick patients is hospital staff: nurses, doctors, respiratory therapists, housekeeping, and many others.
Like many healthcare workers throughout Wisconsin and the U.S., they are working hard to save lives, asking for the public's help and trying to stay healthy themselves.
