WISCONSIN (WTAQ-WLUK) — Thursday marked the first day two major Wisconsin health systems officially operated together.
Bellin Health and La Crosse-based Gundersen Health System are now one, though the names, logos, and locations will remain the same.
Officials say the partnership will allow the companies to improve care for their patients and families.
“Coming together will help us establish a foundation for building a larger care network,” said President and Executive Officer at Bellin Health Chris Woleske. “It isn’t taking anything away. Our coming together provides patients and communities better access to top tier care at 11 hospitals and more than 100 local clinic locations in Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, Minnesota and Iowa.”
The two organizations announced their plans to merge this past June.
