The Wisconsin Stars of Life honorees recently inducted at two ceremonies in Green Bay last month will be recognized for their professionalism and commitment at the State Capitol in Madison on Tuesday, October 27.

The day includes a welcome message by Department of Health Services (DHS) Administrator Karen McKeown, followed by introductions and meeting with Governor Scott Walker in his office.  

The Stars will also be recognized before the Senate and Assembly while in session in their respective chambers.  The Senate and Assembly will each adopt resolutions recognizing the Stars; it is a moving experience of tribute and appreciation on behalf of state government's elected leaders.  The resolution is read and adopted, which in the past has been accompanied by a standing ovation.  To read the resolution before the Senate, click here.

The Stars of Life program is to honor and recognize the contribution of those in EMS and the ambulance profession.  Each Star honoree is locally nominated by their respective ambulance service, fire department, first responder group, or other organization.  Each nominee is presented with Wisconsin Stars of Life honors.  Deonne Eske will advance from the group to represent Wisconsin at the National Stars of Life in Washington, D.C. in April 2016.

Wisconsin Stars of Life has been produced by the Professional Ambulance Association of Wisconsin since 2006.  The next Stars event and nomination period is sometime in 2017.
