Close to 1,100 hospital leaders, employees, trustees and volunteers, including from Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital, Howard Young Medical Center, Ministry Sacred Heart Hospital and Ministry Saint Mary's Hospital, descended on Madison on April 28 to participate in the Wisconsin Hospital Association's (WHA) Advocacy Day event. Advocacy Day is an annual event that connects hospital supporters with their legislators in Madison so lawmakers can learn how issues impact local hospitals and communities. "This year's event was the largest in WHA's history and one of, if not the largest event of its kind held in Madison each year. We are proud to have been a part of this tremendous day," said Ann Zenk, interim president and regional vice president, Ministry Health Care's Northern Region. "With the state budget process in full swing, we were able to talk with our legislators about key issues, like Medicaid funding and protecting Wisconsin's Worker's Compensation program."

The crowd heard from the always popular bipartisan legislative panel of State Senator Sheila Harsdorf (R-River Falls), State Senator Jen Shilling (D-La Crosse), State Representative Joe Sanfelippo (R-West Allis) and State Representative Peter Barca (D-Kenosha).
