Wisconsin State Representative Jenna Jacobson

This week is National Hospital Week! This week we recognize the dedication of our hospitals and all the folks working to keep our communities healthy.

Last week, I had the privilege of getting to see behind the scenes of SSM Health Monroe Hospital with Chelsea, the hospital President, and Michelle, Director of Acute Care and Emergency Services. Learning about the inner workings of our hospital brings an even deeper understanding of everybody who keeps a hospital running smoothly, from the person who helps you check-in, to the person who cleans the rooms for the next patient. I truly admire the folks in our healthcare system who work hard every day to look after our community.

This month, we celebrate Jewish American Heritage Month. We honor the many contributions of Jewish Americans past and present, and recognize their rich history. I appreciate the work of the Legislative Jewish Caucus to highlight and advocate for Jewish Wisconsinites around the state.

Today is World Ovarian Cancer Day. Ovarian cancer is a horrible disease, but by spreading awareness and supporting research, we can make a difference for future generations.
