Our staff of dynamic nurses located throughout the State of Wisconsin provides case management for injuries related to short- or long-term disability leaves. Short- and Long-Term Disability carriers often do not collaborate with employers and physicians to coordinate a return-to-work.

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 return to work in an appropriate position to promote healing and prevent re-injury. The nurse can also provide the District with evaluation of workstations to proactively prevent injuries or complications to a successful return to work.
