Marshfield Clinic Health System to Purchase St. Clare's in Weston
Wednesday, October 16th, 2019 -- 8:40 AM
(WDLB) -The Marshfield Clinic Health System will do in Weston what it did in Marshfield.The Clinic announced on Tuesday an agreement with Ascension Wisconsin to buy St. Clare's Hospital, in a transaction scheduled for completion next spring. The approach is the same one the Clinic took in Marshfield, when it scrapped plans to build a new hospital, and instead purchased its longtime next-door-neighbor St. Joseph's Hospital from Ministry Health Care in 2017. The deal announced yesterday also includes the Clinic's acquisition of Ascension's interests in the Diagnostic and Treatment Center in Weston, which the two organizations co-own.
The Clinic is also acquiring Flambeau Hospital in Park Falls, which was operated by the Clinic and Ministry Health Care under a joint sponsorship agreement signed in 1994. That agreement stayed in place when Ministry later joined Ascension. Neither healthcare organization is releasing additional details about the acquisitions at this time.
