Review for The Becky Werner Meningitis Foundation, Mukwonago, WI, USA
The Becky Werner Meningitis Foundation, led by Bob and Dee Dee Werner is an amazing organization. The message they bring to young people is touching and inspiring. I have had the privilege of attending their presentation several times and it touches me each time. I am amazed that Bob and Dee Dee could take the devastating experience of losing their daughter and turn it into this amazing program focused on getting young people vaccinated so other families don't have the same experience.

I wouldn't change anything. Their message is so honest. Bob has a way of connecting with young people that is amazing.
Review for Childrens Hospital Of Wisconsin Inc, Milwaukee, WI, USA
My son arrived at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin by helicopter. He had contracted Meningococcemia, a deadly bacterial infection in his blood. He was given excellent medical care. He spent 161 days as a patient at CHW. Not only were his medical needs taken care of, but also his emotional needs. The staff at Children's took care of our entire family making sure we had everything we needed to cope with our situation. We were always kept informed about every aspect of our child's care. Our son was being seen by many different departments (orthopedic, plastics, rehab, nephrology...) and we had regularly scheduled care conferences which were meetings where all of the departments were represented and all care could be coordinated. Despite suffering amputations to all four extremities, our son is living a normal life and doing almost everything a teenage boy should be able to do. We have made many friends at Children's. Even though the hospital is two hours from where we live, we continue to use their services because we know our son will receive the best care possible.
