WebWise Design & Marketing recently launched a website for Fennimore Area Health Services, Ltd, a non-profit foundation in Fennimore, Wisconsin. FAHS firmly planted its community roots when it was incorporated in 1983.
The initial Board of Directors, under the direction of then president James Larson, included Sarah Lendosky, Kathy Borowski, Keith Rands, Russell May, Doug Daeschel, Robert Novinska, Ray Hoffman, Willis Hamilton, Richard Nelson, and Sybil Koenecke. They initiated a fund drive, which began in May of 1983, to raise funds for the construction of a medical clinic. You may read all about the history here https://fahsltd.com/history/.
