Wisconsin judge denies orthopedic clinic's request to delay HSHS hospital closures in Chippewa Valley, impacting EMS response times.
A Wisconsin judge has denied a request from an orthopedic clinic to force Hospitals Sisters Health System (HSHS) to delay the closure of two hospitals in the Chippewa Valley region. The closure of HSHS St. Joseph’s hospital will impact EMS providers, with ambulances likely experiencing longer responses due to needing to travel further for patients. Chippewa Falls Fire and Emergency Services Department will be entering agreements with departments in Menomonie and Thorp to prepare for the hospital closings.
