UW Health has delivered prescriptions to their patients’ homes since 2012, but now those deliveries will come much faster.

For patients in Dane County, UW Health can now deliver prescriptions to the patient’s home the day after the order is placed – for free, Aaron Webb, the director of ambulatory care pharmacy services at UW Health said Tuesday.

“We are trying to make this as convenient as possible for patients, by meeting them where they are,” Webb explained.

Prescription home delivery through UW Health used to take several days, using outside vendors such as USPS and UPS.

Brian Posick hasn’t forgotten his first Madison Sports Hall of Fame banquet. It was 30 years ago, and the memory is still fresh.

Former University of Wisconsin sports information director Jim Mott was among the four inductees in 1996, and Posick was drawn to the event because “I admired him.”

Posick was subsequently hooked. “I wanted to see what it was all about,” he said, “and I’ve been there ever since handing out individual awards, whatever they may be.”

When private equity firms buy mobile home parks, rent increases leave residents with few affordable options in rural areas

Roughly 20 million Americans live in manufactured houses, which are homes made in factories.

Although they’re often called mobile homes or trailers, that’s really a misnomer because their owners can’t easily relocate them. Typically, the people who own them rent the land underneath the houses from the owners of manufactured home parks. Sometimes, an owner will rent their home to someone else while paying to rent the land as well.
