Discussion Coming to Marshfield Clinic on May 31
submitted by UW-Marshfield/Wood County
Over the past 50 years, much of the country’s population—and especially the Midwest—has been shifting further away from rural areas, opting for urban and suburban settings instead. This trend causes a negative ripple effect across communities and industries. As the population declines, local businesses face a reduced available workforce, funding for school districts decreases, fewer classes are offered to students, and access to quality healthcare grows restrictive.
To address these critical issues and help provide innovative solutions, UW Colleges and UW-Extension are partnering with Northern Wisconsin communities, organizations and government agencies to host Preserving Pathways: A Neighborhood Conversation Series. The series of three roundtables will focus on the topics of education on May 30 in Rice Lake, healthcare on May 31 in Marshfield and the economy on June 1 in Marinette.
The discussion on healthcare takes place at Marshfield Clinic and is open to the public. Reserve your seat at this free event by visiting www.uwcxroundtables.com
