Our staff of dynamic nurses throughout Wisconsin provides case management for injuries related to short- or long-term disability leaves.

This communication helps bridge the gap between the District, medical provider, and worker. The Stubbe nurse will evaluate the medical restrictions, if any, to ensure a return to work in an appropriate position to promote healing and prevent re-injury. The nurse can also provide the District with an evaluation of workstations to proactively prevent injuries or complications to return to work successfully.
