The combined health system of Froedtert ThedaCare Health, Inc. announced the groundbreaking of a new health campus in Oshkosh. The planned campus aims to expand convenient access to care for those living in Northeast and Central Wisconsin.
The Oshkosh campus is designed to be different from other hospitals. The smaller-scale, modern hospital is planned to offer simple, around-the-clock access to emergency and inpatient care in an inviting, highly efficient setting. It will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Also included in the plans are a retail pharmacy, ambulatory surgery center with operating rooms and a medical office building for primary care and specialties.
Construction partners include Hplex Solutions as the owner representative; HGA as the architect and engineer; and Miron Construction as the construction manager. Also involved is The Sigma Group, which is the civil engineer and landscape architect.
