BILL PARKINSON • Horizon Home Care & Hospice Inc.

After retiring from teaching English at Homestead High School, Bill Parkinson could have spent his retirement surrounded by books and may have been quite content. He could have caught up on some reading he’d been long postponing.

However, Parkinson’s wife insisted there was work to be done and people he could help. On her recommendation, Parkinson reluctantly went to Community Memorial Hospital in Menomonee Falls to see what he could do.

THOMAS SHILTZ • Rogers Memorial Hospital

Self-mutilation is growing as a problem among young people at an alarming rate. According to a recent large scale survey published in the Pediatrics professional journal, about 17 percent of college students report that they have cut, burned, carved or harmed themselves in other ways.

As he watched the problem become more prevalent among his students, Mark Flottum, coordinator for comprehensive school health programming at the Cooperative Educational Service Agency (CESA) #2 in Milton, sought the professional advice of Thomas Shiltz, a therapist, consultant, author and workshop presenter on mental health at Rogers Memorial Hospital in Oconomowoc.

LORI BANKER-HORNER, L.P.N. • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Association – Wisconsin Chapter

It’s another cool, crisp autumn morning, and Lori Banker- Horner is up before daybreak. She rises early to prepare herself mentally for the day to come.

She cooks breakfast for her three children, Daniel, Julia and Billy. She smiles at them as she makes French toast – their favorite.
