Emplify Health by Gundersen provides job opportunities for high school students
The program graduate Krystyn Lilla is a patient attendant in Emplify Health's rehab unit. She says being a part of the program helped prepare her for her role, 'I learned all through my different rotations the different job skills and how important those job skills are to work in the hospital. For the memories, making a bunch of new friends, all the great mentors that I had through the rotations, and getting this job.'
Anderson says a big part of the program is job development and teaching students soft skills. 'We practice interviewing. We build resumes. We go out job seeking. We take them on the interviews. We support them in their interviews. We also do onboarding and job coaching once they graduate. We will support them for up to three months to make sure that they have a successful in the job also.'
Many family members and Emplify staff are ready to see these students take their next steps on their life journey. 72 interns have completed the program since it began eight years ago.

Seven graduate in Monroe's Project SEARCH Class of 2025
MONROE — Ciara Ault had one busy year. During her time in the Project SEARCH program, she walked more than 500 stairs a day during one of her work rotations. She also learned the public bus system so she could get from Summerfield to Monroe. Now, she's starting a new job at Monroe's All Heart Athletics. For her hard work, Ault was named Project SEARCH's Class of 2025 Student of the Year during June 3's graduation ceremony at ProMedica Monroe Regional Hospital. Ault and six other local students graduated from this year's program. Project SEARCH is an international education and training program for young adults with mild to moderate cognitive impairments. In Monroe, the 182-day program has been based at ProMedica Monroe Regional Hospital (and its predecessor, Mercy Memorial Hospital) for the last 16 years. Previous Coverage: Project Search gives challenged adults job experience Students learn employment skills by working in various departments at the hospital and at other local businesses. Ault, for example, did rotations in the hospital's main lab and rapid infusion lab. 'I stocked supplies. I helped the patients feel more comfortable,' Ault said in her speech at the graduation ceremony. The students, sometimes called interns, also learn social and life skills in the classroom at the hospital. Many secure jobs right after graduation. During the June 3 graduation ceremony, Darrin Arquette, president of ProMedica Monroe Regional Hospital, said many were impressed by this year's Project SEARCH interns. 'The work you've done here at the hospital is very important to us," Arquette said. "You made great impressions on all of our team and our patients here. Our staff comments on you all the time. I can't thank you enough for all your hard work this year." Sue Vanisacker from La-Z-Boy was the ceremony's keynote speaker. 'Graduates, this is what resilience looks like. You stepped into the professional world. You have grown so, so much. Every successful journey begins with one single brave step. It takes courage. You all chose to show up anyway and take meaningful steps forward for your future," Vanisacker said. "Project SEARCH is so much more than a program; it's a launchpad. Your potential is recognized and nurtured and now ready to take flight. You learned skills that matter in the real world." Like classmate Ciara Ault, Class of 2025 graduate Alexander Benac worked in several ProMedica Monroe Regional Hospital departments, including a nursing floor, the dining room and the dish room. He stocked supplies and delivered water to patients. 'I made food in the kitchen and pizza for the cafeteria,' Benac said. He is currently interviewing for jobs. Graduate Justin Croy also worked on a nursing floor and in the kitchen and dining room. 'From Project SEARCH and the kitchen here at the hospital, I learned new things. With the new things, I'm working three days a week at Mason Jar Tap and Grill,' Croy said. Brianna Cumper's work in Project SEARCH included stocking medical supplies, making food and keeping the dining room organized. 'I make and pack 65 to 80 lunches on Mondays and Thursdays, and I make 36 mini pizzas every day. Project SEARCH has taught me that I really like to work," Cumper said. Next, she plans to take more classes at the Monroe County Intermediate School District's Transition Center. Ellie Easton worked in food and nursing departments at the hospital. 'I served customers in the dining room and worked the cash register. I enjoyed meeting new people and trying new things," Easton said. Now, she's working at Chick-fil-A in Toledo. Alex Johnson did rotations in the emergency room, cath lab and the dietary department. He made beds, ran a dishwasher and learned customer service skills in the process. 'My co-workers in the ER and cath lab, they made me feel like family," Johnson said. He was hired to be an aide for a preschool bus for the Monroe County ISD. 'I love all the kids on my bus. I like to keep them safe while they are on the bus,' Johnson said. During the summers, he'll work at McDonald's. Graduate Jamie Tice trained in the hospital's ambulatory and surgical areas. She stocked supplies and made beds. 'My favorite part about Project SEARCH was how patient and kind everyone is,' she said. Tice was hired to do custodial work at FEDCO. 'I love my job,' she said. Former Project SEARCH graduate Rowdy Milka also was hired recently by FEDCO. Founded in 1988 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Project SEARCH is now offered across the U.S. and in several other countries. 'There are now close to 800 sites, in 47 states and nine countries, serving just over 49,000 young adults with mild to moderate impairments. It's pretty amazing," said Lori Eshenroder, who has been the local Project SEARCH instructor since it started during the 2008-09 academic year. '(In Monroe), we have had 112 interns complete this program over 16 years, and 88 of those have jobs. We have a 77% placement percentage; the national average is 75%. The national average wage is $13.83; ours is close to $15 an hour," she said. "We were the second site to start in Michigan; we now have 20 sites in Michigan," Eshenroder said. "ProMedica Monroe Regional Hospital is the longest-running site. Seventeen years ago, we approached the hospital about this idea. From the very start they were on board. We spent a year visiting Project SEARCH in Cincinnati.' Previous Coverage: 'Nominate a Teacher': Lori Eshenroder receives grant William Hite, principal of the Monroe County ISD's Educational Center, said Project SEARCH collaborates with many local agencies and businesses, including Michigan Rehabilitation Services, Goodwill Industries, Monroe County ISD and Monroe Community Mental Health Authority.

Monroe's FEDCO was awarded the 2025 Business Advisory Council Partner of the Year honor. 'They embrace their employees as family. You guys make us feel part of the team. We are very grateful,' Eshenroder told FEDCO staff at the graduation ceremony. "Project SEARCH is about collaboration," Hite said. "It's the community coming together and supporting the students to reach the greatest level of success possible. These students could not ask for a better community to partner with." The Project SEACH Class of 2026 has been chosen.

What to know about Bellin and Marquette's new mental health counseling program
Bellin Health and Marquette University hope to reduce a shortage of mental health professionals in northeastern Wisconsin with a new pilot program. Emplify Health by Bellin — Bellin Health's new name following its merger with Gundersen Health — and Marquette are launching a seven-year pilot program known as the Resch Mental Health Initiative. Emplify Health and Marquette will recruit 25 students from northeastern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula to become "Resch Scholars" in the master's degree program for clinical mental health counseling. The program is an online two-year program. Students will get scholarships to cover tuitions in full and stipend support. The first class in the program will start this fall, Emplify Health and Marquette leaders announced June 4 at Resch Expo in Ashwaubenon. The goal is to improve retention of mental health professionals in the region to address a growing need for treatment. According to data from the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute in 2024, one mental health provider was available for every 380 people in Brown County. Rates of anxiety and depression are on the rise in kids and adults statewide. The program was created with a donation from the Richard J. Resch Foundation, a philanthropic foundation formed by Sharon and Dick Resch, previous CEO of KI. Emplify Health by Bellin declined to share how much the donation was worth. The graduates will work with around 26,000 clients a year, according to Emplify Health. Chris Woleske, Bellin regional president, said the demands of clinical training makes it difficult to retain counselors. To become a licensed counselor in the state, students must also get 3,000 hours of supervised clinical experience. That's where many students face obstacles because supervisors are in short supply, said Kim Sandstrom, an Emplify Health by Bellin counselor and supervisor for the Resch Mental Health Initiative. "One of the biggest barriers is finding practicum and internship opportunities, which are not paid and have difficult hours," Sandstrom said. "Therapists in training often have to pay to get their supervision hours adding to the stress. They simply drop out." Students in the Resch program will complete all clinical training at Emplify Health by Bellin locations in the area. After graduation, the students will also be offered full-time jobs at Bellin with sign-on and retention bonuses. Interested students can contact Graduate Admission Counselor Jordan Mason at or 414-288-0327.
