CHIP Program 2024

We are the new interns for the Community Health Internship Program (CHIP)!

As college students passionate about community and public health, we are excited to spend the summer working with local health departments, community health centers, and community service organizations in Marathon County. During our time here, we aim to gain valuable public health knowledge and skills while understanding and appreciating the diverse public health activities at the local level. We are thrilled to be here and look forward to making a positive impact in Marathon County.

 Hi, my name is Kohl! Currently, I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Family and Consumer Sciences Education with a minor in Health Education at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Concurrently, I am earning certifications in Food & Nutrition for Health & Wellness and Health Science Education. My career aspirations involve obtaining a teaching license and educating youth about the significance of maintaining good health. Through my internship at McLit, I hope to acquire valuable knowledge and insights from healthcare professionals and underserved populations within the community. This experience will enable me to assist them effectively, both in the present and the future. I anticipate developing a sense of community at McLit, which will provide support for my professional goals. I am thrilled about the opportunity to be a part of this organization. Outside of my academic and professional pursuits, I enjoy cooking, spending time outdoors, and exploring my local community.

Hello!  I’m Amber and I am a CHIP Intern here at McLit in Wausau.  I am originally from Manawa, WI, a rural town of 1,300 people.  I am currently studying Biomedical Sciences at Concordia University-WI, with a minor in Bioethics, and a certificate in Biology Research.  My goal is to attend medical school, and I am considering specializing in genetics, family medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN, or dermatology.  At heart, I am a learner and that is why I am so passionate about medicine in general.  That is why I am thrilled to be spending my summer here at McLit.  I am looking to make a difference in the community by advocating for literacy for all and conducting research on healthcare access for those in need.  In my free time, I love to read, enjoy writing, and spend as much time as I can outdoors!
