Marshfield Clinic Health System Looking to Accelerate Plans for a New Hospital
Wednesday, September 9th, 2015 -- 8:15 AM
-To address reduced services anticipated at Ascension-owned Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital, Marshfield Clinic Health System will accelerate its plans to open a new hospital on the Marshfield campus.MCHS leadership is exploring options to get Phase 1 of a new hospital opened in 2016. This new hospital facility will allow MCHS to retain key specialty services in Marshfield as Ministry Health Care focuses its expansion efforts along the I-39 corridor. It's expected Ministry Saint Joseph's will transition some services now available in Marshfield to other cities leaving patients in Central Wisconsin without certain services available close to home.
Phase 2 of the plan includes the construction of a hospital of the future, announced earlier this year. The new hospital is tentatively scheduled to open in 2018. This building will be slightly smaller than Ministry Saint Joseph's and will be a more efficient, high-tech building. Patients will enjoy private rooms and access to a range of highly specialized care that requires a hospital setting.
