Held from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Brookfield Suites Hotel, the event is co-hosted by Olympian speedskating gold medalist Bonnie Blair and Luke Bebeau of the The Boo- gie Men. The proceeds bene- fit the Bryon Riesch Paraly- sis Foundation, which works to find a cure for paralysis through funding the latest in medical research and pro- vides assistance to those that suffer from neurological dis- orders. Jenny Addis, a longtime friend of the Foundation, was injured in a car accident in 1997. Since that time, she has committed to raising awareness for individuals suffering from paralysis. Her dream to organize and run a fashion show com- pletely comprised of models in wheelchairs has now become a reality with "This Is How We Roll." The event is designed to highlight the importance of medical research, wheelchair accessibility and inclusion within the commu- nity by breaking down barri- ers and changing the stereo- types society has about wheelchair users. Models include a diverse group, ranging from teachers, nurs- es, lawyers, school children to pageant titleholders. Over the last two years, 75 models — including men, women, and children of all ages — representing the Midwest have participated in the show. In its first two years, the event has raised nearly $30,000 for the Bryon Riesch Paralysis Founda- tion. At this year's event, seat- ing and raffle will begin at 2 p.m., with the fashion show to follow at 3 p.m. All are invited to attend. Sponsors, volunteers, retailers and models inter- ested in participating can contact Addis at 715-802-3456 or addisjenny@yahoo.com. Advance tickets are avail- able for purchase at www.brpf.org. — Enterprise Staff SUMMIT — Aurora Health Care announced Monday that its medical center in Summit was named a Blue Distinction Center by Blue Cross and Blue Shield for superior quality standards in maternity care and car- diac care. According to the announcement, Blue Cross and Blue Shield gives this award to hospitals that demonstrate proven exper- tise in delivering specialty care. The maternity service at Aurora Medical Center in Summit is judged on quality care during the delivery episode of care, which includes both vaginal and cesarean section delivery. The cardiac care is assessed on inpatient, rehabilitation and surgical services. The hospital's services in these specialty areas meet or exceed Blue Cross and Blue Shield's high standards. www.aurorahealthcare.org IN BRIEF Aurora Medical Center in Summit receives recognition Fashion show to benefit paralysis patients Care clinics recognized with special week in Wisconsin By Eric Oliver Enterprise Staff OCONOMOWOC — The Lake Area Free Clinic, along with other free and charita- ble clinics across Wiscon- sin, is celebrating the first annual Free and Charitable Clinics Week this week. The clinic gave a presenta- tion to the Oconomowoc Rotary Club as part of the week. LAFC will also be fea- tured in a documentary titled "The Need Continues," which was unveiled at the Wisconsin State Capitol building on April 5. To celebrate the week, LAFC is opening its doors during April for the commu- nity to take a private or group tour of the clinic. The clinic works to help those who are uninsured receive quality health care. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 410,000 Wisconsin residents remain uninsured. Approximately a quarter of these uninsured residents are not eligible for any assistance under the Affordable Care Act because they have access to employer coverage or have incomes too high to qualify for Medi- caid. These individuals can access essential health care services through free and charitable clinics. In Oconomowoc, the Lake Area Free Clinic serves as a patient's medical home, pro- viding medication, laborato- ry services and imaging at no cost. A referral network offers access to other special- ties that can be arranged by a case manager, according to a release. Specialty services offered at the clinic include cardiolo- gy, orthopedics, nephrology, rheumatology, hematology, hepatology, gynecology, behavioral health, wellness, physical therapy and a com- prehensive diabetes clinic. "LAFC is the safety net for low income, uninsured resi- dents to access health care. The majority of patients served are working, often at more than one job, and still struggle to make ends meet. Free and Charitable Clinics Week is an opportunity to talk about the gaps that remain for the population still in need of our services. Clearly the need remains," said Mary Reich, LAFC's executive director. Since opening in 2001 the clinic has had more than 41,000 patient visits. In 2015 the clinic had 3,139 patient visits and averaged 26 new patients per month. Last year 230 volunteers con- tributed more than 13,000 hours of their time. The clinic receives no gov- ernment funding. Its rev- enue comes from grants and donations. In addition to providing medical services and refer- rals, the clinic educates patients who may never have had health insurance and need assistance navigating the health care system.
