To my former HSHS colleagues,

Many of us dedicated years of our lives to caring for patients at Sacred Heart and St. Joseph's. We know firsthand what our community lost when those hospitals closed.

Next Tuesday 06/23, the Chippewa County Board will make one of the most important healthcare decisions our county has faced in decades. They will vote on whether to support the Chippewa Valley Health Cooperative by serving as a co-signer on a Wisconsin Land Trust loan to help restore a full-service, locally governed hospital.

The infographic below highlights why this matters.

If you live in Chippewa County, your voice matters.

Please take just a few minutes to call or email your County Supervisor before the vote. Let them know that access to local healthcare is important to you, your family, and our community. Hearing directly from the people they represent can make a real difference.

In the comments, I'll share the County Board district map and contact information so you can easily find your supervisor.

Thank you for standing up for local healthcare and for the community we've all had the privilege to serve.

Thank you to the Leader-Telegram for clarifying that the Chippewa Valley Health Cooperative is focused first on reopening the former St. Joseph's Hospital as a full-service hospital in Chippewa Falls.

Our goal is simple: restore local hospital services as quickly as possible so patients can receive timely care close to home and Chippewa County once again has access to a full range of hospital services.

We appreciate the continued support of our members, donors, healthcare professionals, and community advocates who are helping make this vision a reality.

The Chippewa Valley Cooperative Hospital (CVCH) is pleased to announce the opening of the new Wound Care Center. This specialty service will restore critical access to our community, filling a crucial gap in healthcare.

Wound care is not optional. It is essential, often urgent and ongoing. The Wound Care Center provides patients with shorter travel times, faster treatments, and better healing outcomes. The department provides expert care utilizing advanced techniques such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy for conditions like diabetic ulcers, pressure wounds, burns, post-surgical complications, and non-healing wounds.

Our mission at CVCH is to bring essential, high-quality care back to the Chippewa Valley-locally owned and community-led. The launch of the center and its much-needed services will bring immediate and accessible care to patients and fulfill a dangerous void in our community.
