— Concordia University Wisconsin today announced plans to establish a satellite campus in Mequon with the Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine through a newly announced partnership.
The two organizations have committed to creating “streamlined pathways” for students pursuing medical careers, along with setting up an ICOM instructional site on the Concordia campus in Mequon. The partnership also includes an articulation agreement to admit qualified Concordia students into the college’s Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine program.
Yesterday’s announcement also references opportunities for dual faculty appointments and shared research between the partners, as well as more opportunities for ICOM students to do their clinical rotations in the Midwest.
Erik Ankerberg, the university’s president, calls the partnership a “natural next step” for Concordia that will benefit students and the local community.
“This partnership builds directly on Concordia’s strong tradition in the health sciences,” he said in a statement.

— The nonprofit Glidden Area Ambulance Service is getting nearly $50,000 in USDA funding for a new ambulance, which will operate in Ashland and Douglas counties.
The new ambulance will replace one from 1998 that had become expensive to maintain, according to details from the agency.
The nonprofit serves the townships of Gordon, Jacobs, Peeksville, and Shanagolden, including more than 1,175 people across a 285-square-mile area. That includes remote parts of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest.
Funding comes from the USDA Rural Development’s Community Facilities Programs.
