This Week: Richard Strauss, Classification Talk

Richard was born in Chicago, grew up in Syracuse, NY, and went to college in Evanston, IL. He met his wife in Chicago before going on to medical school in Guadalajara, Mexico, and New York City.

Richard went to pediatric residency in Syracuse and worked in Albany for two years as an academic pediatrician. He completed a fellowship in pediatric critical care medicine at UW-Madison before moving to the La Crosse area in 1988 where he practiced general pediatrics, neonatology, pediatric critical care, and pediatric sedation at GHS.

He has three adult children, eight grandchildren, two brothers, and one cat. Richard's biological parents and step-father are no longer alive.  

Richard enjoys working, playing with children and grandchildren, traveling to near and far off places, many different sports, volunteering, learning other languages, and lunch on Thursday.  

Last Week: Lucas Herro 

A little over nine years ago Lucas Herro was injured in a diving accident on the river that left 85% of his body paralyzed. Lucas talked about his inspiring journey which led him to the sport of of archery. What started out as a hobby and a good way to spend time has turned into an endeavor of great proportions.

Lucas intends to represent our country in the Paris Para Olympics in 2024 and will not let off the throttle until he is the #1 class w1 para archer in the world.

County Health Department Update
The COVID-19 level for La Crosse County is measuring at a LOW level at this time.
Per current CDC guidelines, when a county is in low COVID risk level, wearing masks indoors is optional.
 
According to the CDC's guidelines, individuals in communities at this level should stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines and get tested if you have symptoms, but wear a mask indoors in public if you choose. However, additional precautions may be needed for people at high risk for severe illness. People may choose to mask at any time. If you have been exposed to COVID-19 or test positive, we ask that you follow the CDC guidelines for quarantining/isolating
