The construction of ThedaCare's new health campus in Fond du Lac is making significant strides. This state-of-the-art facility is set to transform healthcare services in the area. With an estimated $35 million investment and a spacious 25,000 sq. ft. area, it will offer a wide range of essential services.

Key Features and Services

Emergency Care and Inpatient Beds

The hospital will provide 24/7 emergency care, ensuring that patients receive immediate attention when needed. Inpatient beds will be available for those requiring extended care. Board-certified emergency medicine physicians will be on site around the clock, guaranteeing high-quality medical care.

Patients can rest assured knowing that they have access to comprehensive emergency and inpatient services right in Fond du Lac. This will save valuable time and reduce the need for long-distance transfers.

Outpatient Access to Diagnostic Services

The campus will offer 24/7 Computed Tomography (CT) scans, x-ray, and ultrasound services. This allows patients to receive necessary diagnostic tests without the hassle of scheduling appointments during regular business hours. Outpatient access ensures that patients can get the tests they need quickly and conveniently.

For example, a patient with a suspected injury can walk in and get an x-ray immediately, rather than having to wait for a scheduled appointment. This saves time and reduces anxiety for the patient.

24/7 Coverage and Year-Round Operation

The health campus will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. This continuous availability ensures that patients can access medical care at any time, regardless of the day or night.

Whether it's a medical emergency in the middle of the night or a routine check-up during the weekend, patients can rely on ThedaCare's Fond du Lac campus to be there for them.

Interior Design and Artwork

The interior of the hospital is being carefully designed with attention to detail. Flooring, ceiling grid, and ceramic tile installations are in progress, along with interior painting and the installation of wallcoverings. Local artwork is also being secured and installed, adding a touch of beauty and culture to the environment.

The combination of modern design and local art will create a welcoming and soothing atmosphere for patients and visitors alike. It will make the hospital a more pleasant place to receive medical care.

Exterior Improvements

On the exterior, final site grading, curb and site concrete work, asphalt preparation and installation, and exterior door installations are underway. These improvements will enhance the overall appearance and functionality of the campus.

A well-maintained exterior not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the hospital but also ensures the safety and convenience of patients and staff. The exterior work is an important part of the overall construction process.

Medical Equipment Installation

After the new year, the installation of medical equipment will begin. This includes state-of-the-art equipment that will support the delivery of high-quality medical care. From diagnostic tools to treatment devices, every piece of equipment is carefully selected to meet the needs of patients.

The installation of medical equipment is a crucial step in the completion of the health campus. It ensures that the hospital is equipped with the latest technology and resources to provide the best possible care.

With construction progressing smoothly and various aspects of the campus coming together, ThedaCare's new health campus in Fond du Lac is on track to be completed in 2025. This will bring significant benefits to the local community, providing access to top-notch healthcare services right at home.
