Care Wisconsin Celebrates 40th Anniversary Today

In 1976, Care Wisconsin was founded as the Older Adult Day Center in the basement of a Madison church. Today, the group serves more than 9,500 members in 46 Wisconsin counties. This year, Care Wisconsin celebrates 40 years of service with an Open House on September 20th.

Care Wisconsin matches frail seniors and individuals with disabilities with the health care and long-term care support and services they need. They offer Medicare and Medicaid programs and partner with providers to create strong, local provider networks.

At Healthy Living, we appreciate our partnership with Care Wisconsin and the opportunity to serve within this community. We have already enrolled a few new members and processed insulin pump orders for members.

Creating Connections: Healthy Living Meets Its Members at JDRF Events

Healthy Living joined in the excitement at the JDRF Summer Blast in Taylor last Saturday, August 13. Our group was honored to be a part of the event and enjoyed having the chance to get know (and learn from!) the Type One diabetes community, including a few of our customers and provider partners.

Are you ready for the Giant Jenga Challenge?

This past May, the TypeOneNation Summit, also organized by the JDRF, was a great way for the Healthy Living team to meet our members face-to-face. One employee at the event, Autumn, commented, “It was particularly encouraging to see how positive the JDRF community is. The prevailing attitude was hope for the future and tackling diabetes head-on, rather than being a ‘victim.’ We also had a great time with the Giant Jenga Challenge, which was a huge hit!”

The JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that can strike children and adults, and has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. At this time, the disease cannot be prevented or cured.

Coming up this fall, Healthy Living will be participating in the JDRF One Walk at the Detroit Riverwalk on September 25. Click here to register for the walk, start your own team, or donate to the JDRF.
