A coalition of Sheboygan-area public employers has selected QuadMed as their new clinical partner for the Sheboygan InHealth Center, bringing a Wisconsin-founded, physician-led care model to employees and families across the community. The partnership unites Sheboygan County, the City of Sheboygan, the Sheboygan Area School District, and the Town of Sheboygan behind a shared goal: a more coordinated, data-driven approach to primary care that improves access, elevates outcomes, and bends the long-term cost curve for the people who serve this community every day. QuadMed was founded in 1991 by Harry V. Quadracci, father of Kathryn Quadracci Flores, when he hired a physician to provide care for his employees onsite at Quad (then known as Quad/Graphics) in Pewaukee, Wisconsin. He believed employers could bring employees better and more affordable healthcare than they were getting in the community. More than three decades later, QuadMed remains family-controlled and physician-led.

Meeting in Jeddah, a committee of OPEC and other oil producers found high levels of compliance with the production curbs. Still, there’s capacity for prices to rise beyond this week’s three-year high, according to Saudi Energy Minister Khalid Al-Falih, who said cooperation between producers would continue into 2019.
