My name is Sara Helgeson, and I am a proud Green Bay native who has called this community home my entire life. Helping and caring for others has always been my passion, and I have dedicated the past 22 years to serving patients and families as a nurse.

I am currently a nurse with Unity Hospice, where I have the privilege of supporting individuals and their loved ones through some of life's most important moments. In 2026, I was honored to join the board, allowing me to further contribute to the mission of compassionate care in our community.

Family is at the center of my life. I have been married to my husband for 25 years, and together we have raised three wonderful children: Joshua, Sydnee, and Zachariah. Green Bay has always been my home, and I am grateful for the opportunity to give back to the community that has given so much to me.
