FOND DU LAC, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Construction work is progressing at the new ThedaCare health campus in Fond du Lac.
The project at 755 W. Johnson Street broke ground in February.
ThedaCare Medical Center-Fond du Lac is expected to be approximately 25,000 sq. ft., with an estimated $35 million investment. The hospital will have emergency care, inpatient beds, and 24/7 coverage with board-certified emergency medicine physicians. For patients requiring additional care, observation and tests, plans call for 24/7 Computed Tomography (CT) scans, x-ray and ultrasound with outpatient access.
It will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Since the groundbreaking, crews have been strategically working through design and construction plans, including the following areas:
- Flooring, ceiling grid and ceramic tile installation
- Interior painting, along with installing wallcoverings
- Securing and installing local artwork
Furniture design and selection is complete, and will be obtained soon. Installation of medical equipment will begin after the new year.
On the exterior, focus is on the following areas:
- Final site grading, curb and site concrete
- Asphalt preparation and installation
- Exterior door installations
The Fond du Lac health campus is expected to be complete in 2025.
In addition to the Fond du Lac location, work continues at ThedaCare Medical Center-Oshkosh. It is also expected to be complete in 2025.
