Caring beyond the workplace: Tyler Coupling helps open local urgent care

In 2023, Tyler Coupling recognized a growing need for more accessible medical care for their employees. Without an on-site nurse and with the nearest urgent care located 30 miles away, timely care was a significant challenge.

Key members of the management team decided to take action, reaching out to GRO Marshfield and the Marshfield Development League to share concerns about the lack of nearby medical services. Despite attempts to engage with local clinics in surrounding areas, there little success in securing a proposal.

Fortunately, the Webster County Health Unit had a connection with a healthcare provider based in Dallas, TX. Through their introduction, Tyler Coupling was able to secure a meeting that proved to be a pivotal turning point. With McWane’s support, including a $100,000 interest-free loan, this new partnership was able to bring a local clinic to life.

“Partnering with our community to provide quality healthcare not only for our employees but also for their families has been incredibly rewarding," said Tyler Coupling HR Manager Micayla Helms. “It was made possible through the dedication of our management team, local partners and key stakeholders within McWane. I feel truly blessed to work for a company that prioritizes its people in such a meaningful way.”

What once felt like a “pie in the sky” dream has now become a reality. Fast Doc Urgent Care center officially opened its doors on August 1.
