Community Relations
Emeriti are encouraged to act as Marshfield Clinic Representatives in community organizations and volunteer at Community events such as Farm Technology Days (ex: assist with skin cancer screenings).

We understand the importance of maintaining strong connections with our emeritus physicians and leaders, and their spouses, and we are excited to continue to provide you with timely updates, resources, and meaningful opportunities to stay connected with the health system.
Our commitment to you is:

- Coffee with the President: Bob Chaloner, MMC-Marshfield President will host two in-person coffee sessions in Marshfield during the summer.
- Helping you stay connected: Many of you have requested an Emeritus directory. Spring of ’24 you will receive a mailing from the MCHS Foundation, asking you to verify your contact information. Those who respond and choose to be included, will receive a director via email. Watch for your mailing from Jessie Nagel!
- Social Media: Facebook is a wonderful way to stay connected… we are looking for a volunteer to help set-up and manage an Emeritus Facebook page. We will provide some training to get you started. If you are interested in helping, please contact Caroline Wilm at wilm.caroline@marshfieldclinic.org
- Reunion: We are exploring the idea of an Emeritus Reunion, if you'd be interested in helping with the planning, please contact Caroline Wilm at wilm.caroline@marshfieldclinic.org; more information to come.
