ThedaCare Medical Center-Fond du Lac, the health system’s ninth hospital will welcome its first patients April 16.

The organization broke ground on then $35 million hospital in February 2024. The 25,000-square-foot hospital has emergency care, inpatient beds, and 24/7 coverage with board-certified emergency medicine physicians. 

“ThedaCare Medical Center-Fond du Lac expands convenient access to care for those living in northeast and central Wisconsin,” said Robert Cavagnol, North Region President, Froedtert ThedaCare Health. “This campus extends the trusted medical care we currently provide the people of this area. It also gives us an opportunity to ensure access to higher levels of care when needed – which can be done as part of our larger integrated system.”

The hospital at 755 W. Johnson St., is located in a retail district near Interstate 41. A ribbon cutting was held April 10.

“When we explored the opportunity to create a new health campus in Fond du Lac, we aimed to understand the needs of this community,” said Jenny Nikolai, vice president of ThedaCare Medical Centers-Fond du Lac and Oshkosh. “We know that demand for access to care continues to grow in Fond du Lac, where city and county populations have steadily increased over the past decade. We’re grateful that our health care system now has the opportunity to enhance high-quality, safe care for this community.”
