New program gives advanced medical training for rural health care providers in Wisconsin

It can take up to two-and-a-half hours to drive from Berlin in Green Lake County to the nearest pediatric hospital. That’s according to Evan VandenLangenberg, chief of Berlin Emergency Medical Services. His community is one of the initial participants of Orion Initiative training, a new program offered by the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health that aims to expand advanced medical training to rural communities.
