SSM Health is proud of the work its clinicians do to keep children safe through routine vaccinations. Six SSM Health medical group locations have been recognized by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) as BigShot award recipients.

Now in its tenth year, the BigShot awards from DHS recognize the crucial role vaccinators play in supporting the health of Wisconsin’s children and communities. This recognition is especially important as childhood vaccination rates continue to decline across the state.
