NEENAH, WI (WTAQ) – ThedaCare has announced plans to build a new clinic in Neenah.
The new facility would replace its two family practice locations on S. Commercial Street and Tullar Road, along with the endocrine and internal medicine clinics currently located at Theda Clark Medical Center.
“We have outgrown a number of our clinic sites in Neenah and face aging facilities that need to be upgraded,” said Jeff Mitchell, Vice President of ThedaCare Physicians. “We carefully reviewed the situation and learned that one clinic would make the best use of our resources and increase the level of care and convenience we can deliver to our Neenah patients.”
Mitchell says they’re looking at sites with easy access to Highway 41 and expect to begin construction this spring. It would open in about a year.
According to Mitchell, merging of the primary care sites enables ThedaCare to provide lab services, X-ray, MRI, mammography and other diagnostic and screening services to a larger patient population.
The current clinics do not have space for all of these services.
“From a cost perspective, we will not be duplicating services and equipment, and our Neenah patients will have equal and convenient access to these tests all within one new clinic building,” Mitchell said.
