Food Detectives: South Milwaukee Honors Two Health Department Employees

Our first-class city services are delivered by great people committed to making a difference.

Case in point: Martin Zabkowicz and Mariana Liebsch of the South Milwaukee Health Department.

The City Council had the pleasure of honoring Marty, our health inspector, and Mariana, a nurse, at last week’s meeting for their work on the front lines of a nationwide turkey recall last month. According to the proclamation

Marty and Mariana “performed the initial follow-up with a patient suffering from symptoms related to foodborne illness, and the timely and comprehensive interview performed was helpful to the investigation by the Wisconsin Division of Public Health” … and Marty “collected the consumer product sample and submitted it for testing, which greatly contributed to the identification of this illness, and ultimately the nationwide recall.”

Congratulations to Marty and Mariana!
