IOLA LIVING ASSISTANCE

IOLA - Debra Gilbertson lives a busy life. She has been a licensed practical nurse for 29 years and has been employed at Iola Living Assistance (ILA) since March 2009. Married for 29 years and mother to three grown children, Gilbertson is reaching for a higher goal.

Working full time and attending Mid-State Technical College in Wisconsin Rapids, Gilbertson is training to become a registered nurse. A nursing scholarship has been awarded to Gilbertson to help her reach that goal.

"I really enjoy the people and working here at ILA," Gilbertson noted. "School occupies a lot of my time."

She grew up in Minnesota and resides in Waupaca.

Her hobbies include baking, gardening and raising the best raspberries. Everyone at ILA wishes Gilbertson the very best!
