– Athletes and sports groups have played a vital role in solving social upheavals as Wisconsin and the country face the demanding situations posed by COVID-19 and which some describe as an epidemic of racism.
Baseball has a history of social justice in the country with Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier on April 15, 1947 and former commissioner Bud Selig pointing to baseball as a social establishment that will have to pay attention to society, publicize social unrest, and be a leader.
Brewers players unanimously boycotted Wednesday’s game in reaction to the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha County, just forty-five minutes south of Miller Park’s front door.
“Baseball and the game are frankly playing a leadership role,” said Rick Schlesinger, president of advertising operations for the Milwaukee Brewers. “As an establishment and as an organization, we hope to be … in conversation. We’re exaggerating our role, but we have a platform. Now you’ll see game groups and players taking on leadership roles in politics and social issues, and that’s unlikely to change.”
Schlesinger once said WisPolitics.com-WisBusiness.com that the team’s network outreach included regular video calls with network leaders about the prospects for social justice and the history of Milwaukee’s disorders with race and poverty.
Kelly Jo Golson, marketing director of Advocate Aurora Health, congratulated her MLB spouse on the community. Aurora has been the Brewers’ official fitness wife for about 3 years.
“The other key commitments we have with our partners are a logo that reflects our commitment to improving our network together, and we’ve noticed it with the Brewers,” he said.
Brewers and Defender Aurora are components of the Milwaukee Metropolitan Trade Association’s Region of Choice initiative, which aims to develop diversity and control and make Milwaukee’s dominance more excited about the diversity of talent.
“I think it’s a wonderful feature for Milwaukee to be the home of the Brewers, the Bucks … Having the voice of the players, I think, just adds richness to the diversity of the network and is a vital component to achieving it. a wonderful position to live, work, play and learn,” said MMAC President Tim Sheehy. “I think the fact that these organizations are rooted here in the network will allow us to see each other from a different perspective.

– “WisBusiness: The Podcast” this week introduces Joe Boucher, co-founder of the Wisconsin Innovation Awards. These awards aim to bring in and showcase innovators across the state, in industries and organizations of all shapes and sizes.
Boucher explained that innovation is a word for describing concepts across industries and generations across the state.
“We all have smart ideas … and we’re talking to others in our field, but without cross-pollination,” he said. “The purpose is to bring together other artistic and avant-garde people from across the state of Wisconsin.”
While Boucher admits that he can’t measure innovation in Wisconsin through innovation awards, he can bring out innovators and create a culture of innovation and creativity at Badger State.
The Wisconsin Innovation Awards announced 10 finalists earlier this month, chosen from more than 400 nominations. Three winners will be selected in early October in a virtual event.
A few years ago, 30 finalists and 10 winners were announced in a face-to-face event, but due to the pandemic, Boucher said his team should do things differently.
“We usually have about three hundred more people, maybe we have even more this year,” he said. “Hopefully we can get more, because it’s less difficult to participate.”

– Two of Wisconsin’s famine organizations have jointly earned more than $10 million in the DATCP COVID-19 grant.
In addition, 17 food banks and other nonprofits serving Wisconsin will get a total of approximately $5 million from the COVID-19 food safety net support grant.
“The DATCP award means access, for the first time, to those foods through other people who have been ignored in the past,” said Sherrie Tussler, executive director of the Hunger Working Group, which receives just over $7.2 million in grants.
Other underced people come with natives, other people of color and rural deficient across the state who will get food from Wisconsin manufacturers and farmers, Tussler said.
Feeding Wisconsin is also expected to earn more than $7.2 million to develop the capacity of food banks, pantry and partners and create the food source to equip its six food banks and 980 local food systems in all Wisconsin counties, according to Stephanie Jung Dorfman. , CEO.
The organization will buy about 2.8 million pounds of food from Wisconsin producers, processors, aggregators and product associations, he told WisBusiness.com.
“The food purchased will support the increased demand (in numbers of households accessing our pantries and demand for pounds per family) our network is experiencing and projecting through COVID-19 response and recovery,” Dorfman said. “In Wisconsin alone, 807,830 people may face hunger this year, many for the first time — an increase of 291,900 people because of the pandemic.”
According to Dorfman, this would increase Wisconsin’s food mistrust rate from 8.9% of the population to 13.9% of the population and about one in 4 children with food insecurity.
“With a possible resurgence of the virus, the call to our network is expected to peak this fall or a while later,” he said. “We also expect sharp drops in the source if more donations of food and federal products are not guaranteed.”
The Food Safety Initiative is made imaginable through $15 million provided through Governor Tony Evers through a federal investment under the Wisconsin CARES Act. The initiative was announced in May.
“These budgets will help our network ensure that we continue to have the food and infrastructure to develop nutritious food safely through pandemic reaction and recovery,” Dorfman said.

– SSM Health Wisconsin Regional President Damond Boatwright said Dane County had responded effectively to COVID-19.
Boatwright said at a briefing at the Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce that through the “careful distribution of source chain and resource conservation,” Dane County has kept enough non-public protective devices in the inventory for physical care workers.
The capacity of hospitals in the area has also remained on a smart level, according to Boatwright. He also noted that SSM will create a greater capacity to fill more beds in the event of a possible coronavirus outbreak.
Over the more than two weeks, the south-central region of the state that includes Dane County has experienced near-record lows in COVID-19 patients, about 30, and peaks below the Peak of April 7 of 70 patients, according to the Wisconsin Hospital Association. . coronavirus board.
Dane County has noticed a steady decrease in the cases shown, according to the wisconsin Department of Health Services Coronavirus Control Panel. As of Wednesday, the county had six new instances opposing the peaks in June that expired to 150 new instances per day.
Boatwright’s fears concern the upcoming flu season.
He is involved with health care personnel and his ability to the point of painting as flu season approaches. Flu symptoms are similar to those of COVID-19, and fitness officials have indicated that this may increase the need for physical care.
Boatwright said COVID-19 has also created monetary tension for hospitals across the state. After SSM had to prevent elective procedures and delay clinic visits, the formula ran a $100 million deficit in April.
With free time, reduced hours and reductions, SSM Health is recently experiencing a deficit of around $35 million, he said.
Boatwright said measures such as the CARES Act and other government stimulus bureaucracy have helped, but that the maximum hospitals run up to 90 of its “pre-pandemic” level.
In the future, Boatwright said continued collaboration between the public and personal sectors and governments will be key to balancing other people’s coverage with progress toward a “new normal.”
– Six horses in northwestern Wisconsin have tested positive since last July for eastern equine encephalitis, which can spread to humans and other animals through the bite of an inflamed mosquito.
Mosquitoes contract the EEA virus by feeding on inflamed birds. The virus is not transmitted from one user to another or between animals and humans. No human cases have been reported in humans so far this year in Wisconsin, according to DHS.
Although the virus is very rare in Wisconsin with 3 human cases reported in Wisconsin between 1964 and 2019, the infection can be severe.
DHS notes that many other people inflamed with the EEA virus do not get sick, however, those who get sick will possibly expand encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) that regularly begins with the sudden onset of fever, headache, chills and vomiting. The disease can be serious and cause disorientation, seizures, coma or death.
There is no express remedy for EEA disease, according to DHS, and death occurs in approximately 30% of other people who expand encephalitis due to the EEA.
DHS recommends restricting the outdoor weather at dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are active to the fullest; Apply insect repellent Make sure the meshes of the windows and doors are intact. Remove state water from the elements around your assets and prune tall grasses and weeds— resting spaces for mosquitoes in hot hours.
