Gov. Tony Evers signed two bills March 23, 2022 to support Wisconsin’s healthcare providers and patients. The first bill signed by Gov. Evers continues the innovative Acute Hospital Care at Home program, which was established during the pandemic to allow hospital services to be provided in a home setting if the federal Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has approved a hospital to provide the hospital-associated service.
Additionally, the governor also signed a second bill making it a Class H felony to assault or threaten healthcare providers or staff members and their families.
