-The Marshfield Area YMCA and Marshfield Clinic Health System announced a partnership that will help transform the way prevention-based health, wellness and family-service programs are delivered to Marshfield and area communities.This is a first-of-its-kind partnership for MCHS and the YMCA. Through this partnership, MCHS is supporting a major capital campaign to expand and improve the YMCA, with the facility to be renamed the Marshfield Clinic Health System YMCA. The partnership builds on a longstanding relationship between two organizations. MCHS has supported the Y’s annual sustaining campaign for many years and the organizations collaborate on several ongoing wellness programs.
Individually, Clinic physicians and staff, along with their families, have served as donors, members, volunteers and directors throughout the Y’s history in Marshfield. As part of the initiative, MCHS and the YMCA will create a joint operating council to include representatives from each organization who will develop strategies to maximize effectiveness of the partnership, expand future programming and measure outcomes.
