Lakeland Care, Inc., a local organization providing support and care coordination to elders and adults with disabilities through Wisconsin’s Family Care program, has been honored with a national award in the esteemed category of 2024 Top Workplaces-Healthcare Industry. This distinguished recognition is the second award the organization has received this year, following the Top Workplaces Culture of Excellence Award for work-life flexibility the organization received in April.

Lakeland Care’s dedication to fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and excellence has consistently placed it at the forefront of healthcare services. The Top Workplaces award acknowledges the organization’s commitment to providing a positive and supportive work environment for its employees, which in turn, contributes to exceptional member care.  “Receiving our second Top Workplaces award is an immense honor,” said Sara Muhlbauer, Chief Executive Officer of Lakeland Care. “This recognition highlights our ongoing dedication to creating a workplace culture that empowers our employees to reach their full potential, thereby benefiting our members and the communities we serve.”

The Top Workplaces award is determined by anonymous employee feedback, collected, and analyzed by an independent research firm. This data assesses various aspects of workplace culture, including employee engagement, leadership, alignment, and connection. Lakeland Care’s remarkable performance in these critical areas solidifies its position as a leader in the healthcare industry.

Lakeland Care remains steadfast in its commitment to maintaining a supportive and inclusive work environment, allowing its employees to thrive and deliver high-quality support to those in need. As the organization looks to the future, it will continue to prioritize the well-being and professional development of its staff, ensuring the highest level of care for its members.
