Wisconsin Rep. Alex Dallman (R-Green Lake) recently attended the Wisconsin Association for Home Health Care (WiHCA) 2023 Fall Conference, which was held in the Wisconsin Dells on November 2-3.  Dallman welcomed conference attendees to the Dells and gave a legislative update on health care and workforce issues being considered at the State Capitol. His appearance was part of a larger effort by WiAHC to connect home health care professionals with state lawmakers to advance policies that improve the delivery of home health care across Wisconsin.

“WiAHC greatly appreciated Rep. Dallman's appearance at the conference, his insightful comments, and his willingness to engage our members in positive dialogue”, said Jayne Thill, WiAHC Board Chair. “His support of home health care in Wisconsin, particularly related to the home health care worker shortage, will help pave the way toward sustainable solutions to improve care.”

Home health care offers a wide range of health care services provided by skilled non-physician practitioners, such as nurses and physical therapists, to treat an illness or injury in a patient’s home.

The goal of home health care is to treat patients in the comfort of their homes, where they tend to recover more quickly, avoid complications, and enjoy a better quality of life than they might in an acute care setting.

“It was great to speak at WiAHC’s 2023 Fall Conference and give attendees an update on work the legislature is doing for home health care services across the state,” said Dallman. “I believe home health care services help keep costs low for families while also giving individuals the comfort of staying in their homes. I am grateful for the work WiAHC is doing to advance and expand home health care services in Wisconsin.”

Dallman who was first elected to the Wisconsin Assembly in 2020 represents the 41^st Assembly district, which includes the northeast corner of Sauk County and large portions of Adams, Marquette, and Green Lake Counties. His distirct also includes the cities of Wisconisn Dells, Adams, Portage, and Green Lake. He currently serves as a member of the Legislature’s powerful Joint Finance Committee, which oversees development of the state’s two-year budget.
