-Memorial Medical Center: Small Hospital, Big
Difference, Brighter Future! In November of 2016, Memorial Medical Center
announced the building of a new $40 million facility to continue to serve the
health care needs of Clark County and the surrounding area.
In order to keep the community informed, here’s the
latest on the progress of the project:
“Marshfield Clinic Health System and Memorial Hospital,
Inc. signed a letter of intent to provide more accessible quality health care
services to the Neillsville community through an affiliation partnership. The signing of the letter of intent signals
the start of a due diligence period to finalize terms of the acquisition with a
goal of completing the transaction by June 30.
The two organizations have worked collaboratively for decades. Currently
six Marshfield Clinic specialties are active at Memorial Medical Center, with Radiology
most recently added.
‘This new partnership builds on more than three decades
of collaboration between our two organizations, and signals a future of health
care in Clark County where patients will have even greater access to care
delivered where, when and how they want it,’ said Marshfield Clinic Health
System CEO Dr. Susan Turney.
This affiliation supports the construction of a new $40
million medical, surgical, and outpatient clinic in Neillsville. The current
medical center was built in 1954. The new center will further enable the two
organizations in providing more accessible health care services to the
community.
‘This new level of partnership will enhance health care
in Clark County by increasing coordination of one system in the delivery of
care, providing a location for Marshfield Clinic to provide additional
specialty care and aligns Clark County's largest health insurer, Security Health
Plan, with a local presence,’ said Memorial Medical Center CEO Ryan Neville.
MMC board member Russell Ratsch stated, “Memorial
Medical Center and Marshfield Clinic have a long history as trusted partners
providing healthcare services to the Neillsville area and surrounding
communities. Joining together at this
time of transformation and renewal promises expanded healthcare services
delivered locally in a new state of the art facility as well as strengthened employment
and economic growth opportunities.”
Memorial Medical Center is also answering any question you
may have like this one:
“Q: What does MMC
joining MCHS mean for the community?
A: MMC will
continue to fulfill its mission of providing the best experience in health
care. But data has pointed out that they
need to join with MCHS to continue to do this to the best of their
abilities. 85% of MMC’s patients are
also patients at MCHS. Only 40% of the
direct community utilizes MMC while 60% utilizes MCHS and 41% of their revenue
is from Security Health Plan.”
“Q: What does MMC joining MCHS mean for the
employees?
A: MMC’s Board of Directors’ main priority has
always been maintaining local employment.
With this agreement, employment at MMC will be maintained.”
“Q: What does MMC joining MCHS mean for the new
facility?
A: That project will continue. MCHS supports the construction of this $40
million dollar facility and all plans, plus some additional programs will move
forward. MMC will continue to
collaborate with Sniteman’s Pharmacy, Art of Optometry and Neillsville Care and
Rehab for the project as well. This
change will only move the project timeline back a few months.”
