Meanwhile in Central Wisconsin, CREATE Portage County operates with a mission of accelerating creativity, connection and collaboration to advance vibrant and welcoming communities.Įxecutive Director Greg Wright leads the charge for the organization which has an IDEA centerĮquipped with 3D printers to allow residents of Stevens Point and beyond to invest in their creative ideas and expand entrepreneurship. Thomas O'Malley Jr is an ophthalmologist in Stevens Point, WI, and has been in practice more than 20 years. “After consulting with Ascension leaders from infection prevention and other functions to review and provide input, we were able to come up with a mask design that would bolster our supply of PPE,” said Trafton.Īn agreement to provide as many as 25,000 masks a week was just the kind of inventory Trafton was looking for at a time when a change in policy brought universal masking to all facilities across the state. Often these opportunities stem from already established relationships and that was the case for Ascension Wisconsin after connecting with Port Washington-based Allen Edmonds and CREATE Portage County in Stevens Point. “Our team has been diligently working to sustain our supply of PPE and the investigation of products from non-traditional suppliers has helped us fill some key needs during the management of this pandemic,” said Adam Trafton, vice president and chief resource officer for Ascension Wisconsin with The Resource Group, Ascension's resource and supply management organization. Times of uncertainty often provide opportunities for creativity and innovation and Ascension Wisconsin is benefiting from these traits on many levels during the current pandemic. While there are many things unknown about COVID-19, one thing is certain – access to effective personal protective equipment (PPE) is vital for health care professionals on the front line.
