Fond du Lac ER nurse’s kindness turns scary visit into relief
FOND DU LAC – An Emergency Room nurse at SSM Health St. Agnes Hospital has been honored with a DAISY Award after a patient credited the nurse's compassion and support with easing a frightening medical experience. Andrea Langenfeld, a registered nurse in the hospital's Emergency Room, received the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, according to a community announcement. The recognition followed a nomination from a patient who described Langenfeld's care during a visit for severe facial pain that had persisted for four days despite multiple encounters with health care providers. The patient said they arrived at the Emergency Room feeling exhausted, scared and discouraged after struggling to find answers. In the nomination, the patient said Langenfeld's calm demeanor helped reduce anxiety during an uncertain situation. The patient wrote that Langenfeld treated them "like a person, not just another patient," and provided attentive care throughout the visit. They also recalled moments of laughter and encouragement that helped make a painful experience more manageable. Testing later determined that the symptoms were caused by a severe sinus infection rather than a more serious condition. As the patient prepared to leave the hospital, they said Langenfeld spotted them in a hallway and offered reassurance.

Tri-County unveils new mobile clinic to support kids' dental health
A lot of kids don't like visiting the dentist. But what happens when the dentist visits them? They miss much less class than they would if they got their teeth checked off-site, according to Tri-County Dental assistant Josh Long, saying kids are "in and out in 20 minutes" for routine cleanings. Kids are also less scared, he added, since "their friends are there, and (getting checked) is normalized." After losing their previous mobile clinic in a 2024 accident, Tri-County Dental Clinic unveiled a new mobile clinic this summer. The three-chair clinic, a specially fitted recreational vehicle, is brightly painted inside with a mural of jungle animals. The colors and pictures are meant to help the staff welcome kids and make them feel more comfortable in the clinic, said dental hygienist Katie Wheeler. According to program lead Anna Cihlar, kids make up 72% of all the clinic's patients, both at the clinic's brick-and-mortar site at 9 Tri-Park Way in Grand Chute and at the mobile clinic.
