This new space includes an Emergency Department, 10 inpatient beds and coverage during every hour and day of the entire calendar year, including board-certified physicians to respond. Reprsentatives from the company say patients were anticipating it becoming a reality one day.
'Patients were asking for us to expand down to this location,' Robert Cavagnol, Froedtert-ThedaCare Health President of the North Region, said. 'It was strategically placed, and we want to make sure that patients don't have to drive too far to seek our services.'
This new Emergency Department also features a centralized workspace, allowing medical crews to coordinate efforts and have access to treatment rooms as necessary.
