A great place to live, work and raise a family
The Dodgeville and surrounding communities offer a family-friendly,
dynamic, scenic and recreational area in which to live, work
and raise a family. With its striking vistas and hidden
valleys, southwestern Wisconsin's rolling countryside
is considered one of the most picturesque areas of the state
and possibly the Midwest.
The area benefits from a balanced economy which blends agriculture,
tourism, industry and the corporate headquarters of international
direct merchants, Lands' End. Other internationally
recognized companies include Walnut Hollow, Silicon Sensors
and Quality Liquid Feeds. The agricultural base is diverse
with dairy, beef and crop farming.
Local communities are proud of their historic downtown buildings
with specialty shops, professional services, restaurants and
more. You'll find an historic sense of place has been
retained through careful maintenance and restoration of commercial
buildings in many local communities.

Wisconsin
Hospital Association report reveals future workforce shortages
When the Wisconsin Hospital Association released its report
predicting more challenges ahead for workforce recruitment,
the human resources director at Upland Hills Health was not
surprised. He agrees more needs to be done, but is optimistic
about recruiting professionals to rural southwest Wisconsin. "Yes,
it's a challenge, but Dodgeville and surrounding communities have a lot
to offer health workers. It's a great area in which to live, work and
raise a family. As a rural health provider, Upland Hills has many full-service
features health professionals, including physicians, want to see," Troy
Marx, Dir. of Human Resources who oversees recruitment for the hospital, nursing/rehab,
home care, hospice, outpatient clinics and other areas of the organization.
Also
important is the nearby Southwest Wisconsin Technical College, "Fennimore,
its nursing programs and long-term support the college has provided to our
workforce," Marx
emphasizes. Click here to read entire

How one man re-invented himself through work:
At age 50, he finds a second career in healthcare
In 2001 Larry Jackson's life changed in an instant, when
the battery plant he worked at for 28 years closed -- just
two years shy of his full pension.
The closing forced Jackson
and 280 other Exide Battery workers in Burlington, Iowa,
to search for new jobs.
Fast forward to 2005. Today,
Jackson is a radiology technician at Upland Hills Health,
helping doctors better diagnose conditions, and he's enjoying
a new career and interactions with hospital patients. Click
