Long Beach, Calif.-based Molina Healthcare Inc.’s acquisition of West Allis-based Abri Health Plan mean’s an additional 40 to 50 jobs for the Milwaukee area community.
“Prior to the acquisition, (Abri) just signed a new ten year lease at our building on 102nd St., in West Allis,” said Ron Scasny, president of Abri Health Plan. “We plan to add an additional 40 to 50 employees at our location, bringing us close to 100 employees in West Allis.”
Abri Health is a Medicaid managed care organization.
According to Scasny, Abri will add additional executive level and middle management positions in addition to customer service representatives and administrative assistants. Abri is actively recruiting and hiring for those positions now, Scasny said.
“We’re really busy recruiting now so they are on staff for the enrollment period,” Scasny said. “It’s a long and difficult process, there are a lot of good people out of work right now. We’re excited for the changes, some of these positions are new to Abri, and work that we usually outsourced out. The acquisition has allowed us to bring some of those jobs in house.”
None of the current Abri employees are at risk of losing their job due to the acquisition, Scasny said.
The purchase price for the acquisition is approximately $16 million, subject to adjustments. Abri Health Plan serves approximately 18,000 Medicaid members and the company expects more growth, Scasny said.
For the meantime, Abri Health Plan will retain its name at least through the Medicaid enrollment period, Scasny said.
“Abri Health Plan is known in the community,” he said. “Molina does not have that name recogniztion here in the state yet and so I suspect we will retain the name at least throughout enrollment period.”
A Molina company spokesperson indicated it was typical for Molina to brand its health plan acquisitions, but acknowledged Abri’s name recognition here in the state.
“Right now people are choosing their health plans,” said Kathleen O'Guin, Molina company spokesperson. “Abri has a wonderful reception in the community and it’s extremely important that people know they can still choose Abri.”
Medicaid customers have three months to choose their plan beginning later this year and then another 90 days to make changes, Scasny said. The topic of a name change might resurface again in February after that process.
“The acquisition actually means great things for customers in Wisconsin,” Scasny said. “Molina brings so many new programs for our customers through this acquisition.”
This week Abri implemented a 24-hour nurse line, something the company never had prior to the acquisition, Scasny said.
Molina Health Care is a physician run organization and has locations in Missouri, Ohio and Michigan, but this is the first plan in the state of Wisconsin, O’Guin said.  Abri Health Plan is currently in 23 counties across the state and plans to grow significantly over the next few months.
Molina provides Medicaid-related solutions to meet the health care needs of low-income families and individuals and to assist state agencies in their administration of the Medicaid program.
Abri Health Plan provides health care services for BadgerCare Plus and Medicaid SSI members in 23 counties in Wisconsin. Abri Health Plan was a 2009 Future 50 Master Mettle company.

School administrators from Mitchell Middle School in Racine, Pius XI High School in Milwaukee and St. Marcus Lutheran School in Milwaukee have been on the roof at St. Marcus School, 2215 N. Palmer St., since 6 a.m. Monday in a last minute effort to win more votes in the Kohl’s Care’s for kids Facebook challenge. 
In celebration of Kohl’s Corporation’s Kohl’s Cares program’s tenth anniversary the company is awarding 20 schools from around the country $10 million, or $500,000 each.
“As it goes right now, all of that money is going out of the state,” said Henry Tyson, superintendent of St Marcus Lutheran School and one of the rooftop participants. “We need all of southeastern Wisconsin to rally together in support of Wisconsin education.”
Voting ends just before midnight on Friday, Sept. 3, Tyson said.
St. Marcus is currently ranked number 36 with just over 27,000 votes; Pius Highschool is ranked number 34 with just over 30,000; and Mitchell Middle School in Racine is ranked 44 with just over 20,500 votes.
The top three schools in the contest are from California, and the school ranked number 20 has more than 102,500 votes.
“At Kohl’s we are excited to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our Kohl’s Cares philanthropic program by giving back to the communities that we serve. As kids and parents think about the new school year, we want everyone to dream big about how half a million dollars could impact their favorite school,” said Julie Gardner, Kohl’s executive vice president and chief marketing officer. “We believe that when communities thrive so does business. We feel so strongly about this program and the positive affect it could have that we have made it the cornerstone of the company’s Back-to-School campaign.”
Schools and their supporters can visit www.facebook.com/kohls and become a fan to vote for their favorite school and discuss how the funding could be used.
The winning school must serve children between kindergarten and high school and have at least one submission about how the funds might be used. Fans can vote up to 20 times for their favorite school, with a maximum of five votes for an individual school.
The top 20 schools that have completed the guidelines for the contest will be announced in late September.

President Barack Obama will return to Milwaukee to celebrate Labor Day at the Milwaukee Labor Council’s Laborfest.

Seating for the president’s speech will require advance tickets and early ones will be distributed by union leaders to their members and families.
The public is invited to attend and hear the president from around the grounds.
Laborfest has been extended until 7 p.m., and is free to attend. The traditional Labor Day Parade is expected to start prior to 11 a.m. to accommodate those who wish to see Obama speak.
The Labor Day speech will mark Obama’s second trip to Milwaukee in less than three weeks.

He also spoke at Laborfest, as the democratic candidate for president, in 2008.

Careers Industries will host its third annual Art in the Garden festival event on Saturday, Sept. 11 from 1 to 4 p.m. at its headquarters, 3502 Douglas Ave., in Racine.
More than 70 local artists will display and sell their work at the event.
Career Industries is an organization that enriches the lives of people with disabilities through work, care and community. The art at the event will include paintings, textiles, ceramics and plantable stationary is done by artists in Careers Industries’ Art and Soul program.
David Insurance Agency, Inc., of Racine recently purchased 40 paintings created by participants in the Career Industries Art & Soul Program. The paintings now adorn the walls of the office.
"David Insurance and individuals here have had a role on a volunteer as well as professional basis with Careers Industries and we're familiar with the excellent work that they do with adults with disabilities," said Chris Antonneau, president of David Insurance Agency, Inc. "They have a great stock of talent and some of their participants have developed nice artistic abilities. Originally, they asked if we would like to display the art at our place of work because we generally work with the public and have people flowing through our office. We obtained about 40 paintings and found them to be very enjoyable throughout our whole office setting.  They're bright and colorful, and it's evident the artists enjoy what they're doing. Instead of looking to be a retail vendor of these items, we instead chose to permanently keep them."
The sale raised about $900 for the artists and the organization.
Proceeds from Art in the Garden will benefit Careers Industries. The public is invited to listen to music, taste wine, enjoy appetizers and bid on silent auction items.

Marquette names new president
The Rev. Scott R. Pilarz, S.J., president of the University of Scranton, was recently named the 23rd president of Marquette University in Milwaukee. Pilarz will assume his duties in summer 2011, succeeding Rev. Robert A. Wild, S.J., who announced in March that he will retire next year after 15 years as Marquette president.
The Marquette Board of Trustees unanimously elected Pilarz at a special board meeting Tuesday. Marquette bylaws require that a Jesuit lead the university. Pilarz is one of the eight Jesuits who serves on the Marquette Board of Trustees, which he has done since September 2009.
In announcing the selection, board chair Darren Jackson said, “Father Pilarz demonstrates enormous passion for the mission of Catholic, Jesuit education and boasts a record of accomplishment, both as an educator and as a leader, who speaks directly to Marquette’s commitment to excellence. He is the right person to lead our continued growth as one of the nation’s top Catholic universities.”
“Marquette enjoys a national reputation for its pursuit of academic excellence and for the way its students, faculty and alumni live out the principles of Catholic, Jesuit education,” Pilarz said. “I have tremendous respect for Father Wild and the remarkable accomplishments of the entire Marquette community during his presidency. The opportunity to lead this institution at a time of such momentum and promise is both exciting and humbling. As difficult as it will be to leave the community I have grown to love at Scranton, I am honored to have been chosen.”
A respected teacher and scholar, Pilarz, 51, became Scranton’s 24th president in 2003, following his service at Georgetown University, where he spent six years on the English faculty before being asked, in 2002, to serve for one year as interim University Chaplain, a position that included membership in the president’s cabinet. He was chosen by the graduating class of 1999 to receive the Edward B. Bunn, S.J., Award for Faculty Excellence, an award that recognizes outstanding teaching and service. In 2002, he was recognized by the Georgetown Alumni Association with the William Gaston Award for Outstanding Service. In 2009, he received Georgetown’s John Carroll Award, which honors alumni whose achievements exemplify the traditions and ideas of the university. 
During his time at Scranton, the university has earned national recognition for academic quality, community engagement and student success, achieving record admissions and undertaking the largest construction projects in its more than 120 year history. Guided by a 2005-2010 Strategic Plan – Pride, Passion, Promise: Shaping Our Jesuit Tradition, Scranton constructed a new campus center, sophomore residence hall and campus green space. A new residence hall and fitness center complex and an $83 million unified science center are set for completion in the fall of 2011.
Pilarz has provided dedicated support for research by new faculty, developed the President’s Colloquy for Presidential Scholars, and established seminars focused on Jesuit education. The university’s progress has been supported by the Pride, Passion, Promise Campaign, the goal for which was raised in January from $100 to $125 million in response to its success. While at Scranton, he has continued to teach a course each semester.
“Marquette is thrilled to have recruited a Jesuit with Father Pilarz’s academic credentials as a teacher and scholar, his dynamic approach to change and growth and his deep commitment to the importance of the liberal arts in higher education,” said Mary Ellen Stanek, immediate past chair of the Marquette Board of Trustees who chaired the Presidential Search Committee. “I believe we have found in Father Pilarz a superstar who will continue the momentum Marquette has had during Father Wild’s tenure.”
Pilarz is the author of a book, “Robert Southwell, S.J., and the Mission of Literature 1561-1595: Writing Reconciliation,” and has written numerous articles on Southwell, an English poet, John Donne and medieval drama. He has served as a lecturer in the philosophy department of Sts. Peter & Paul Seminary at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, and was appointed to the English faculty of St. Joseph’s University in 1994, before joining the Georgetown faculty in 1996. He was one of 38 individuals profiled by Ronald Shapiro in The New York Times bestseller “Dare to Prepare: How to Win Before You Begin,” citing his successful approach to fundraising and leadership as a university president. In 2010, Pilarz was awarded an honorary degree from King’s College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
A native of Camden, N.J., Pilarz entered the Society of Jesus in 1981 and was ordained a priest in 1992. He received his bachelor’s degree in English from Georgetown University, and a master’s degree in philosophy from Fordham University, New York. He received masters’ degrees in divinity and theology from the Weston School of Theology, Cambridge, Mass. He went on to earn a Ph.D. in English at the City University of New York.
Pilarz serves on the boards of Boston College, Scranton Tomorrow and Scranton Preparatory School and as president of the board of Camden Catholic High School, from which he graduated. From 2007 to 2010 he represented the 28 schools that are part of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities on the American Council on Education Board of Directors. His professional memberships include the Academy of American Poets, the John Donne Society, the Renaissance Society of America, the Shakespeare Association of America, the Medieval and Renaissance Drama Society, the Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences and the Modern Language Association.
He is the son of Joseph and Joan Pilarz, Voorhees, N.J. His sister, Susan, and brother-in-law, Joseph Lappin, reside in Lewisville, Texas, with their two children, Carly and Joey.

“Susan is a proven leader who I’m confident will continue our deep traditions of high-quality patient care, strong relationships with physicians, community partnerships, financial strength, operational excellence, and putting employees, patients and their families first,” Titus said.
