APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) – A new website has been launched by ThedaCare to update the public on its plan to combine two Fox Valley hospitals into one.
The company announced earlier this year that it was considering closing its hospitals in Appleton (formerly known as Appleton Medical Center) and Neenah (formerly known as Theda Clark Medical Center) and building a single hospital somewhere in the area.
So far, a site has not been chosen for the proposed hospital.
On its “Journey” webpage, ThedaCare includes:
- Details about the process of deciding whether to combine the two hospitals into one
- Information on community feedback that has already been received
- Videos with ThedaCare president/CEO Dr. Dean Gruner explaining why the move is being considered
- An email address for the public to submit feedback
“Our exploration of future healthcare facilities in the Fox Cities has generated a lot of conversation, and we’re dedicating this as a place where interested parties can follow along on our journey,” Gruner said in a news release. “We’re committed to being as transparent as possible.”
ThedaCare has not said when a final decision will be made.
