Congratulations to Dr. Rachel Lange, ER Physician at Tamarack Health, who received the STEMI Survivor Award for her successful efforts in saving a patient's life.

Buck very well may not be alive today if not for the life-saving work done by Dr. Lange, the ER team at Tamarack Health, the Ashland Fire Department, EMS services, and partners in Duluth. “I’m so grateful to everyone who saved my life,” Buck said. “I shouldn’t be here today, and because of you all, I am.”

Take a moment and think about someone close to you who's died. A grandparent, parent or friend . . . it can be anyone. Were there any parts of themselves they left behind for you to remember? It could be anything: a recipe, picture, diary or family heirloom? It could be something as simple as a conversation the two of you had about what was important to him or her. Intentional or not, we all leave behind these pieces of ourselves that others will remember us by. These memories, these mementos are our legacy. A diagnosis of cancer often leads people to think about their legacy and what they're leaving behind. Initially, those thoughts may focus on financial matters. But as time passes, there's almost always a shift to the existential.

Memories Live is a free service to help individuals with cancer share their lives with their loved ones through video. The mission of Memories Live is to help people with life-limiting illnesses preserve their images, stories and wisdom by creating personalized movies to pass on to their loved ones. Creates unique legacy movies at no cost to families. The final product is an edited movie saved on a USB drive and mailed to the family. Contact information: kerry.glass@memorieslive.org - (646) 245-1698.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with stage IV cancer or experienced the loss of a loved one to cancer, please consider attending Together We Heal [the Northwest Wisconsin Cancer Center, NWCC’s grief support group]. Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, 3:00-4:00 pm. The guest speaker will be Kerry Glass, Creator of Memories Live. The meeting will be held in the Woodland Room [Essentia Health Ashland Clinic, 1615 Maple Lane; Ashland, WI]. The group will meet at NWCC’s lobby at 2:50 pm to walk down as a group. If you are interested in attending or have questions, please contact Laura Martinsen, NWCC’s Social Worker, at 715-685-5004.

Did you know? More than 80% of infants in the U.S. start out breastfeeding—but by 6 months, only about 25% are exclusively breastfed. While the benefits of breastfeeding are clear, many families still face barriers to continuing.

From lack of support at work or in public spaces, to medical or emotional challenges, the journey isn’t always easy. Tamarack Health is committed to offering supportive resources like lactation education, public breastfeeding rooms, and breast milk donation opportunities.

Let’s build a community that uplifts and empowers every breastfeeding family.

Tamarack Health is proud to announce that Nichole Marleau and William Carli are the recipients of the North Star Employee Excellence Award, recognizing their outstanding commitment to patient care and service.

In Hayward, Nichole was nominated by a grateful parent who explained how Nichole provided physical therapy care with compassion and understanding far above expectations.

"She delivered her knowledge in such an empowering way as a patient, especially with such a touchy subject; never once did I feel shame or embarrassed. I felt heard, I felt valued and validated, I felt comfortable, and I knew I was in such good hands for my care. Nichole was truly such a blessing to my recovery.”

In Ashland, William was nominated by a patient undergoing a routine vision test. When Will noticed something a little off, he did some extra tests, brought in the doctors, and it was discovered that the patient had a macular hole.

“He had an idea that something was really wrong by the results of the vision test. He made sure I knew he was not a doctor, but had enough experience to know that this needed to be brought to the doctor’s attention. I will be having surgery to repair the hole and hopefully restore my vision. I want to thank Will for taking the time to do the extra tests that were needed to find the problem.”

Measles is very contagious. Before you travel within the United States or internationally, make sure you are up-to-date with your measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, and plan to be fully vaccinated at least two weeks before you travel.
