CAP Services adds Director of Talent
|
 Emily Smits, Weston, has been named to CAP Services' newly created Director of Talent position.
Smits will be based out of CAP's Stevens Point administrative headquarters and will be responsible for oversight of CAP's human resources and talent development functions.
"We are excited to add Ms. Smits to our team," said Mary Patoka, CAP president and CEO. "Her professional experience and dedication to mission-driven work promises to serve our agency well."
Smit's previous work includes four years in various human resource roles at Ministry Health Care in Weston and Stevens Point, most recently as a recruitment consultant. Smits has a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. She is certified as a Professional in Human Resources (PHR) through the HR Certification Institute (HRCI), and is a Certified Internet Recruiter (CIR) through Advanced Internet Recruitment Strategies (AIRS).
"I am very grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this impactful and values-driven organization," said Smits.
The position was created as part of administrative restructuring designed to further CAP's strategic goals as well as adapt to the retirement of Sue Beveridge, CAP's former VP and Director of Administration who recently stepped down after 40 years with the agency.
"There is no way to replace 40 years of experience," said Patoka. "However, we have been active in planning for this transition to ensure our administrative functions remain at the high standards our clients, staff and donors have come to expect."

SAVE THE BIRDS!
NLPM sends out biggest flock to date
|
New London Public museum is excited to update the community on the success of the Save the Birds fundraising program. Christine Cross, museum director, delivered the largest flock of birds for restoration just last week. She took twelve birds to the taxidermist to be restored and re-mounted. That brings the total of birds sponsored since 2012 to 47, of those 32 have been restored and are back at the museum. Thanks to our sponsors for helping us save the birds!
New London Public Museum started its Save the Birds fundraising program in 2012. With almost 200 birds in the collection, many of which are close to or over 100 years old, the museum recognized that the birds desperately needed conservation. Appealing to the community, the museum hoped to have at least five birds sponsored every year. We've flown past that goal every year! Bird sponsorships range from $75 to $200. There are still plenty of birds left that need help, so stop in today and save a bird.
Donn Prahl sponsored all three of the
Common Loons in the museum's collection
The Bobolink pair was sponsored in memory of Stanley Ziemer by his daughters Kathleen Ziemer and Jane Martinson
The Horned Grebe was sponsored in memo
ry of
Henry Miles by his friends Henry and Char Krokosky

 THEDACARE INVESTS IN SMART CHOICE MRI
New partnership supports growing market shift to value-based medicine
|
ThedaCare, the largest healthcare system in Northeast Wisconsin, is investing $3 million in Mequon-based Smart Choice MRI, the first MRI provider in the country to offer every MRI for an all-inclusive fee of $600 or less. ThedaCare is a community-based health system that reinvests in the communities it serves. ThedaCare sees potential for consumers in Smart Choice MRI while the new partnership creates an opportunity for both companies to learn from each other and use their knowledge and expertise to bring additional value to patients.
"We look for partners who are culturally and collectively a good fit," said Keith Livingston, ThedaCare senior vice president of Systems of Care Support. "Smart Choice MRI shares our vision to put patients and consumers at the center of the health care experience. We sometimes collaborate with competitors in the best interests of consumers. In this case, we admire Smart Choice MRI's service-orientated, consumer-driven model for imaging, which we can learn from and apply to many aspects of our business. Additionally, this partnership is consistent with our need to learn how to better meet consumers' needs in the evolving-retail healthcare marketplace."
ThedaCare doctors will continue to work with patients to determine the most appropriate MRI setting for each individual situation, considering all the factors that impact a patient's choice for
an MRI. These include personal health needs, scheduling, insurance coverage and out-of-pocket costs.
"We're proud to partner with such a forward-thinking healthcare provider," said Rick Anderson, CEO of Smart Choice MRI. "ThedaCare understands that offering choice to its community is the right thing to do. With consumers assuming more of their medical expenses than ever before, this has never been more important."
Smart Choice MRI currently has six Wisconsin locations in
Milwaukee, Sheboygan, Richfield, Waukesha, Kenosha and Appleton. The company is also scheduled to open at least eight clinics in 2016, four in the Chicago area by April and four more in the Twin Cities by the second half of the year. Smart Choice MRI will use the $3 million capital investment from ThedaCare to support its expansion.
ThedaCare is the first healthcare system to partner with Smart Choice MRI. As a minority owner of Smart Choice MRI's overall operation, ThedaCare will have a seat on the Smart Choice MRI Board of Directors, and anticipates growth on its investment as Smart Choice MRI grows.
