Marshfield (Wis.) Clinic Health System submitted an application to build a hospital in Minocqua, Wis., attached to its current clinic and ambulatory center.
The proposed 72,000-square-foot facility would be a full-service hospital.
"Meeting the healthcare needs of the community is our No. 1 priority and we've always believed that the Minocqua community would benefit from a truly integrated local health care system," said Susan Turney, MD, MCHS CEO. "Combining our world-class outpatient care and insurance through Security Health Plan of Wisconsin with our own state-of-the-art, modern hospital puts us in an excellent position to make a real difference on care levels for patients in the region."
The new hospital would be staffed by Marshfield Clinic physicians, nurses and other associates.
The Town of Minocqua Plan Commission will review the MCHS application Jan. 31.
