WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. – Marshfield Medical Center-Wisconsin Rapids Campus will open to patients at 7 a.m. March 1.
Marshfield Medical Center-Wisconsin Rapids Campus includes the soon-to-open hospital, 440 24th Street South, and Marshfield Clinic Wisconsin Rapids Center, 220 24th Street South.
The hospital will include inpatient beds, emergency department, exam and procedure rooms, radiological services that include general x-ray, computed tomography and ultrasound, as well as on-site lab testing.
“We are bringing hospital and emergency services to Wisconsin Rapids to combine with our ambulatory medical group practice,” said Chris Soska, president of Marshfield Medical Center Wisconsin Rapids Campus. “Marshfield Clinic has provided care in Wisconsin Rapids for decades, and now we can offer access to comprehensive care closer to home for the community.”
Wisconsin Rapids Center currently offers urgent/walk-in care, cardiology, family medicine, optometry, cancer care, pediatrics, physical therapy, podiatry and nephrology, as well as outreach services in other specialty areas, lab, X-ray and optical services. Urgent Care will be combined in the Emergency Department and is extending hours to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week.
“This investment in the community is part of our commitment to help solve the issue of access and support patients when they need care,” said Brian Hoerneman, M.D., president and CEO of Marshfield Clinic. “With this hospital, patients gain a front door into a broader, integrated network across Marshfield Clinic. If someone needs advanced cardiac care, complex surgery, or specialized treatment, this campus becomes the bridge that connects them to nearby facilities, including those in Marshfield, Stevens Point and Weston. This is the true power of our system – local access supported by regional strength.”
