Shawano is a friendly small city on the Wolf River with lakes, trails, fishing and a walkable downtown of cafés, local restaurants and regular community events—perfect for active weekends and staying engaged during multi-week assignments. Affordable housing and a collaborative local healthcare scene make settling in quick and low-stress.
About an hour away are Green Bay (pro sports, larger hospitals, an airport) and Appleton (regional dining, arts and shopping), so you can enjoy quiet, affordable living while having easy weekend access to bigger-city amenities.
