UW System to Train 35K Health Workers | Milwaukee News

from Milwaukee News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Wisconsin’s Universities are launching a bold $90 million plan to train 35,000 new healthcare workers over ten years—called Healthy Wisconsin—to meet soaring demand from an aging population and ensure care remains accessible statewide. With hospital leaders predicting a 10% surge in need by 2040, UW officials including interim president Renée Wachter are touring the state to rally support for this critical budget ask, building on last year’s $265 million win while pushing to close workforce gaps through education and collaboration.
