(WEAU Staff) Black River Memorial Hospital and Krohn Clinic are merging to create Black River Health, according to WEAU staff.

"We’re thrilled to introduce Black River Health,” said Carl Selvick, President and CEO, BRMH. “This merger unites the strengths of both organizations, driven by a shared vision of delivering sustainable, high-quality care close to home. It is a bold move to meet the evolving health needs of our community.”

The decision to merge comes in response to growing health challenges with Jackson County faring worse than the average county in Wisconsin for health outcomes, according to a press release from the health systems.

“The future of healthcare in Jackson County is promising,” said Dr. Michelle Clark-Forsting, President and Administrator, Krohn Clinic. “Both BRMH and Krohn Clinic are strong on their own, but together we can do even more to improve the health of our community.”

The merger is effective Dec. 30, 2024.
