Now a group of workers at Gundersen Health System is feeling even more burnout because of short-staffing.
Gundersen has dozens of openings for medical assistants right now. These are the people who you see prior to your doctor…nurse or physician.

Children spend a lot of time outside enjoying playtime.
Likely, they are applying sunscreen to protect their skin. But a question that sparks a lot of interest from parent centers around eye protection and sunglasses.
Mayo Clinic Health System providers say children receive more annual sun exposure than adults.
This increased exposure to sunlight increases risk of eye damage from ultraviolet (UV) light – an invisible electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun.
Unlike adult eyes, children’s eyes are still maturing and cannot filter out the harmful UV rays as effectively.
“Children’s eyelids and skin around the eye are delicate and more vulnerable than adult skin, ” says Nitika Arora, M.B.B.S., Mayo Clinic Health System glaucoma specialist in ophthalmology in La Crosse. Damage from UV rays builds up over time.
