MADISON - Nearly four dozen U.S. Army medical workers are being deployed to Wisconsin to help out hospitals and health care workers stressed and exhausted by the continued surge of COVID-19 patients in the area.
The Army personnel will work in medical centers in Beaver Dam, Eau Claire, Marshfield and Rice Lake.
The facilities are in an area of Wisconsin with some of the highest and most sustained rates of COVID-19 infections. The Marshfield Clinic system, which oversees the facilities receiving help, has been utilizing volunteers from a state emergency assistance program, "but the need for more staff to meet patient demand remains a challenge," Marshfield Clinic Health System CEO Susan Turney said.
