Whenever the state emerges out of the COVID-19 pandemic, Door County Medical Center President and CEO Brian Stephens says they will be applying the things they are learning now for years to come. Stephens currently starts every morning on a conference call with other hospitals in northeast Wisconsin to share updates and ideas. He hopes that kind of collaboration does not disappear when the virus does.

Stephens also believes cross-training many of its employees and setting up new spaces to treat patients within the hospital serve as good preparation for the future.
