Press release from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay: December 22, 2020 SHEBOYGAN – On a particularly bad day this summer, (UW-Green Bay alumna) Starrlene Grossman and Libby Jacobs commiserated before heading home from working at the Health and Human Services building, the heaviness of the day weighing on them. It was the day after the state's safer-at-home order was repealed. That meant the state-level framework they'd been leaning on was suddenly gone.As health officer and lead health strategist, respectively, it was their job to come up with a plan to guide Sheboygan County through the pandemic.

Jacobs suggested taking some deep breaths. Source: Sheboygan County COVID-19: Public health workers say pandemic takes toll This press release was produced by the UW-Green Bay.
