WPS Health Solutions had two teams in the Cycle For Stroke inaugural event at Breese Stevens Field in Madison on May 30 to culminate National Stroke Month. WPS also was a proud sponsor of the stationary-bike event, which raised awareness for stroke prevention and generated financial support for the American Heart Association—Wisconsin.
Scott Kowalski, WPS Executive Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, organized the event. He is a member of the American Heart Association—Wisconsin Board and begins a two-year term as Board Chair on July 1. Scott also is a stroke survivor and advocate for stroke prevention efforts.
