JEFFERSON COUNTY – Fort HealthCare is proud to announce that James Nelson, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has been named to the 2026 Wisconsin Titan 100 Hall of Fame, an honor recognizing the state’s most accomplished business leaders for their exceptional vision, leadership, and community impact.
