Sturgeon Bay, Wis.-based Door County Medical Center will affiliate with Springfield, Ill.-based Hospital Sisters Health System to deliver high quality healthcare to residents in the northeast Wisconsin area.
According to the agreement, HSHS will enter into a minority interest affiliation with DCMC. In doing so, DCMC will continue to operate as a locally controlled, Catholic institution.
The financial terms of the agreement have yet to be disclosed.
"The new structure will allow us to retain local control of our hospital, remain responsive to the needs of the community and continue to support partnerships that benefit community health. Our trusted team of providers and staff will care for patients with the same goals, values and relationships as before," said Gerald Worrick, DCMC's president and CEO. "There will be little change to the patient experience, as people will still see the same friendly faces of providers who live and work in our community, and the same specialists who have earned the patients' trust."
