Tuesday, November 22nd, 2016 -- 10:08 AM
-Marshfield Clinic Health System has submitted to the City a site plan for a new, 44-bed hospital to be staffed by its world-class physicians and providers and built just south of the Clinic’s Eau Claire Center on West Clairemont Avenue.The Eau Claire Plan Commission is expected to review the hospital site plan in the coming weeks, with construction anticipated to start shortly after City approval. The new hospital, which will have attached cancer care, is the cornerstone of MCHS’s “Caring for the Chippewa Valley” initiative to create an integrated local health care system able to maximize efficiencies and make high quality care more affordable for area patients. The Eau Claire Plan Commission approved the site plan for the cancer center building in October.
The hospital will be built at 1202 W. Clairemont Avenue, current site of the Plaza Hotel & Suites. MCHS has purchased the real estate, and the hotel business ceased operations in October. The Plaza will be demolished as part of the project, with the cancer center tentatively set to open in 2017 and the hospital in 2018.
